European Style Home in the Heart of the Cascades

by Liz Warren

If you like old world elegance, this is the place for you! Prior Resort at the Mountain owner has decided to sell his custom built home with European style and accents throughout. This amazing home overlooks the golf course and you can listen to the Salmon River just across the green. From the Scottish fireplace to the cherry wood floors, this unique home has an elevator that reaches all four levels of the home for stair adverse buyers, elderly relatives, or wheel chaired homeowners. 

The home boasts tall ceilings, a wall of windows that looks out to a forested setting and winter territorial views. Walk to fine dining just around the corner at the Resort or hit the 27 hole golf course.

Mt. Hood Area Real Estate Sales for May 2012

by Liz Warren

May real estate sales on the mountain are consistent with the past several months. Ten sales of  properties have now given a total of 46 sales since the first of the year. Numbers of sales each month have been fairly consistent giving an average of nine sales each month! Plenty of inventory to choose from and with unbelievable 3.75% interest, this is the Primo time to buy in history!

Lets take a look at May's sales. Four of the ten were either bank owner or short sales. Good news in that two sales were over $300,000. There's been more interest in the higher price ranges. Since we are quickly approaching our premium selling summer season I expect the next several months to produce even higher numbers of sales baring any negative economic news.

Memorial Day Weekend

by Liz Warren

If you are traveling along Highway 26 on the West end of Sandy you can't miss the incredible Veteran Traveling Memorial with hundreds of flags flying in the wind. The Field of Honor  memorial is run by the Veterans of Oregon. Each flag has the name of a vet who has served and each flag has flown over our nations Capitol. The Memorial travels all over the state and we are fortunate that Sandy has the honor of the traveling display this Memorial Day weekend. 

If you would like to honor a vet, there is a lot of information on the Oregon Veteran Web Site on how to get a nameplate to honor your veteran for the memorial. 

Thank you for your service VETS!

Mt. Hood Area Inventory Levels

by Liz Warren

The Portland Metro area inventory is at a five year low according to the multiple listing service. Month supply of home for April was 4.7 months. This is the buzz about "listing inventory" shortage in Portland.  Take a look at Grant and Wallowa County though with over three years of inventory to sell. Yikes! 

Mt. Hood Area inventory of residential homes are at a 13 month level. Lots of inventory to choose from and to take advantage of these historically low interest rates!
