March Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales Are Up!

by Liz Warren

 

RMLS has just released sales for March of 2016 showing sales surged for the Mt. Hood area. Many buyers are moving to the area plus vacation home purchasers are on the increase as minimal inventory is creating multiple offers on many properties.   

           Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales Statistics for March 2016

Compared to 2015 sales are up nearly 82% for March showing buyers are taking advantage of an improving Oregon economy and still low interest rates! Sixteen sales closed showing a strong first quarter finish. Compared to 2015 the first three months pending sales are up 63%. It's taking just over three months for marketing time as an average over all pricing points. 

Although we are not at the PDX frenzy point yet, many buyers need to be ready to jump right in if they see the property they want because they can go quickly.

Numbers are out from the Regional Multiple Listing Service for the Mt. Hood Area. March 2012 statistics are listed in this chart: New listings are coming on the market fairly quickly as we foresee a very competitive summer coming up this year. Pending sales are way up from a year ago likely reflecting the investors and second home buyers scooping up great homes with incredible prices. Market times are still quite long with 182 day averages for current month sales. With Mt. Hood foreclosures making up 50% of sales this month, the impact on pricing will be downward with more foreclosures hitting the market this year. Oregon has 12.5 months of shadow inventory to get through. (see below RMLS chart)
