July 2016 Sales Numbers for Mt. Hood From RMLS

by Liz Warren

July sales numbers are in to multiple listing and here is how the month stacked up against 2015 and year to date. Pending sales are up 28% over July 2015! With this past month's sales closing we see a total of 101 year to date. Shorter days on market with a 42 day average is a big improvement. Buyer demand has been high. Many buyers are searching for waterfront which is in major shortage for 2016. Sellers with waterfront are getting top dollar for their properties. The majority of waterfront buyers have moved from deeded properties to leased land where this is a small supply of cabins. 

Closing times for lender purchases are taking lots of extra time to complete. Sometimes up to 60 days due to the Northwest appraiser shortage. Buyers and sellers are frustrated with the time frames. More rural properties outside of the urban growth boundary are suffering the most with 6 to 8 week appraisal time lines. It's at a crisis point for the real estate industry. Patience is the word of the year in getting properties to close on time with current appraisal challenges.

June 2016 Sales Numbers from RMLS for Mt. Hood

by Liz Warren

The latest RMLS sales statistics are in for the Mt. Hood area. Numbers are showing fifteen closed sales for the month of June, 2016. Activity is at a booming pace right now with occasional multiple offers depending on the property or price range.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE right now for financed properties: APPRAISALS. Lenders are having a nearly impossible time getting appraisers to come to the mountain and complete appraisals. The pace and appraisal business in Portland is in so much in demand that coming to Mt. Hood is frequently turned down for easier jobs closer to the urban core. Count on a good 30 days before you'll see an appraisal for a bank loan and that may not include the "due time" back to the lender-an additional 7-10 days. 

Delayed closings are becoming the norm for our area and that is brutal for buyers moving from far away and sellers timing their new purchase and move. I receive multiple calls in a week from mortgage brokers, banks and AMC's (Appraisal Management Companies) begging for names of appraisers. Welcome to the Mt. Hood summer market!
