Mt. Hood National Forest Storm Clean up Scheduled for November 6, 7, and 8
Tuesday, November 3, 2020
MHFHA SPONSORED STORM DEBRIS CLEAN UP scheduled for November 6-7-8
The Association, with the help of generous cabin owners who have donated to the September Storm Clean up Fund, will hire the equipment necessary to aid cabin owners in disposing of debris from the storm.
We will be renting an industrial wood chipper along with hiring an experienced person to run it. We will be renting trailers to pick up and haul debris to a location where the wood chipper will be stationed.
Here's what we need you to do should you like to participate:
1) Create piles of your storm debris (branches no more than 6" in diameter) from your cabin lot and find a place that is not in or on your cabin road but right next to the road. We will NOT be driving in driveways to pick up debris piles. You can begin creating those piles now.
2) Volunteer! We need people with trucks that can pull the rented trailers. We need volunteers to load the piles into the trailers. We need volunteers for a few hours or all day for those 3 days. We will need volunteers to unload the debris at the wood chipping site.
3) All cabin roads and all cabins will be included in this project.
No material other than natural plant/tree storm debris
If you can volunteer - please sign up and tell us your availability (provide a truck with a hitch, man/woman power, what days and hours etc) Please respond to this email and give us your details.
We will provide snacks, water and lunch for all workers.
If you have yet to donate to the clean up fund - please do so now. September Storm Clean Up Fund
To those who have signed up to volunteer - THANK YOU! We will be emailing assignments by Nov 2, 2020. If you would like to volunteer, please email us at [email protected]

Mt. Hood Homes In Demand with Urban Moves to More Open Spaces
Tuesday, September 15, 2020
Two New Surveys Indicate Urban to Suburban Lean
There has been much talk around the possibility that Americans are feeling less enamored with the benefits of living in a large city and now may be longing for the open spaces that suburban and rural areas provide.
In a recent Realtor Magazine article, they discussed the issue and addressed comments made by Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
“While migration trends were toward urban centers before the pandemic, real estate thought leaders have predicted a suburban resurgence as home buyers seek more space for social distancing. Now the data is supporting that theory. Coronavirus and work-from-home flexibility is sparking the trend reversal, Yun said. More first-time home buyers and minorities have also been looking to the suburbs for affordability, he added.”
NAR surveyed agents across the country asking them to best describe the locations where their clients are looking for homes (they could check multiple answers). Here are the results of the survey:
- 47% suburban/subdivision
- 39% rural area
- 25% small town
- 14% urban area/central city
- 13% resort community/recreational area
According to real estate agents, there’s a strong preference for less populated locations such as suburban and rural areas.
Real Estate Brokers and Owners Agree
Zelman & Associates surveys brokers and owners of real estate firms for their monthly Real Estate Brokers Report. The last report revealed that 68% see either a ‘moderate’ or ‘significant’ shift to more suburban locations. Here are the results of the survey:
The trend can be seen in the Mt. Hood area. Inventory is at an all time low historically. Only 19 properties are currently for sale in the area. Eight are condos and the rest are single family homes. The mountain has 34 pending sales from Government Camp to Brightwood. If there ever was a seller's market, this is it!
Bottom Line
No one knows if this will be a short-term trend or an industry game-changer. For now, there appears to be a migration to more open environments.
