Slowing Market This Summer?
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
The factors in play which may impact our summer selling season are listed below. The greatest impact locally will be the interest rates and the tightening lending standards. Well be keeping a close eye on the Portland market as this is reflected in our local market especially the second home market sales. Inventories are expanding rapidly for a summer of sales.
- Interest rates have shot up in the past three weeks over a quarter of a point and could go higher!.
- Lenders are tightening their underwriting standards. Some say this has slowed sales by at least 5%. We don't know the full effect yet but there's more to come. The Homeowner's Act of Oregon could have an impact on our state market!
- Inflation is somewhat stable but what about FOOD and ENERGY prices!!! Yikes. I need to sell a house just to fill my gas tank each week.
-
Investors have left the "price sensitive" housing market and moved back in to the stock market with the DOW reaching record highs.
-
Housing deflation? So far it has hit the big "bubble markets" of metro areas like California and Florida. It could filter down to other areas too.
- Builder sentiment is at a 16 year low so new construction will drastically slow.

Mt. Hood Forest Service Cabins Flying Off the Shelf!
Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Tax time is over and buyers for Mt. Hood forest service cabins are out and searching. Pent up demand and minimal cabin supply has caused multiple bidding on many cabins which hit the market.
In this competitive market it is important, if you're looking to buy, to have an agent who can instantly put you in touch with what hits the market. I offer this service for instant emails so if this is something you'd like to receive, give me a call.
Two of the last four cabins that became available had multiple offers within days. Prices end up over list. Inventory has never been so light for Mt. Hood cabins.
Why are cabins in such high demand? The settings are spectacular! Pristine forests with mountain rivers and streams are the perfect destressor for a hectic city life. Where else can you drive one hour away, a big bonus with rising gas prices, and experience the outdoors with the Mt. Hood National Forest as your playgound?

A couple of my favorite properties on the market right now!
Sunday, April 1, 2007
Many buyers looking for that special vacation getaway are searching for a home with unique characteristics. This link will take you to a couple of my favorites properties available on the market right now. All three are on or near a river, have water features near by. You can sit on a deck and hear or see a river from each one. Wood floors and walls bring a warmth that sheetrock just doesn't convey. A crackling fireplace and a good book to read while the rain falls give a relaxing weekend getaway from the city. Only one hour away from Portland makes for a very easy to get to retreat!
Only 15 minutes to premium ski areas and thousand of miles of Mt. Hood National Forest trails in your backyard make this playground a must for any vacationer.
