December Sales Take off in 2013
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
A fantastic year for real estate on Mt. Hood brought a strong finish for December with fifteen sales last month. Four forest service cabins closed and a couple with unbelievable prices under $60,000! Three manufactured homes changed hands, two condos-both in Fairway Estates at the Resort at the Mountain, and two Government Camp properties.
Calls are coming in from sellers now gearing up for the 2014 selling season. It should prove to be another great year on the mountain with lots of bargains to be had and continued low interest rates. All predictions are that by the end of the year rates will be up an entire percent as the Feds continue to "TAPER" the pumping up of the economy. Now is the time to buy.
Mt. Hood December Sales Soar
Friday, January 17, 2014
December sales rounded off the year with 15 closings for the month! This brought the mountain sales totals for 2013 up to 156 sales. We are happy to see these numbers after climbing out of the slow recovery on the mountain since the bubble times.
You can tell by December's numbers with pending sales up 180% from a year ago that things are improving in our area. Last December was a bit bleak compared to this year. Don't be deceived by the average sales price change of 13.7% for the mountain. Due to some higher end sales, mostly in Government Camp, this number is eschewed to make things a bit rosier than they are for Welches, Rhododendron and Brightwood. The lagging Government Camp market has seen some life in the embers and it's reflected in this chart.
January looks as promising as December. Despite the lack of snow, accessibility for showing homes is exceptionally good for this time of year and many buyers are out to make their purchase now before interest rates climb and purchasing power will be affected. Acting now before rates go up, which are predicted to be nearly a whole point by the 4th quarter would be a good move!

Mountain Sales Statistics for the Month of November 2013
Sunday, December 22, 2013
November continued the pace of high numbers of closed sales in the Mt. Hood area. Continued optimism about the economy and improving employment numbers has brought more buyers to the table this fall. Projected interest rate increases upon the horizon has also been a motivating factor for many buyers I've worked with. Year end numbers will be arriving after the first of the year to gain perspective on how this year has likely been the best in the past five!
November 2013 Sales for Mt. Hood Skyrocket this Fall
Saturday, December 14, 2013
November closings for 2013 continue to ROCK on the mountain with eighteen closed sales for the month! Government Camp sales really pushed numbers up with three Collins Lake Condos closing. Plus, three single family residential home sales at the higher end of the pricing point. Two of the three were in the Alpenglade subdivision hovering at the $700,000 mark and one was new construction in the subdivision on the Ski Bowl side of the hiway 26 called Tyrolean Meadows. This new construction home, built by the developer of Tyrolean Meadows closed at $630,000.
Three forest service cabins closed. Two of these cabins were under $50,000! These are unheard of prices that we haven't seen in decades. I'm not kidding. We haven't seen a cabin sell in this price since the 1980's.
Three distressed properties, foreclosures or short sales, also sold in November. To complete the total, two land sales also closed!
Here is a complete list of the sales. If you have any questions about the market or these specific sales, let me know and I would be pleased to provide additional information.
Sandy Riverfront Cabin on an Acre!
Saturday, December 7, 2013
Great little cabin on an acre of Sandy Riverfront on a dead end street tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Mt. Hood. Easy access for skiers to get up to the slopes only 20 minutes away! Not leased land so you can get financing on this one. This cabin sits above the river with a big deck facing the river. Your very own treed forest sits below with a short walk over to the river where a magnificent view of Zig Zag mountain awaits. Fishermen will enjoy the best kept secret fishing hole at the confluence of the Sandy and the Zig Zag Rivers.
The cabin is big enough for company yet cozy enough for a little getaway on Mt. Hood. There's an open floor plan with wood beamed ceiling and a fireplace in the middle of the first floor for all to see and enjoy. Upstairs is a large bedroom and a bath. The property has its own well and septic too. At only $150,000 this is a great choice for an affordable getaway in the Cascade foothills. LoLo Pass Road is just a half block away for premium biking and Sandy Ridge Basin Trails a short ride away. Golfers can hit the links at the 27 hole Resort at the Mountain golf course 5 minutes away. A quick one hour from Portland to this great getaway! Offered at $150,000. More details here
