Market Statistics for Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales March 2012

Sunday, April 15, 2012
by Liz Warren

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)

March Sales Numbers are in for the Mountain Area

Thursday, April 12, 2012
by Liz Warren

Market statistics are in from multiple listing service for area 153 which covers Government Camp, Welches, Rhdodendron and Brightwood. March was a very active month for closed sales totaling 12 sales. Fifty percent of those sales were foreclosures. Take a look at the numbers from NAR. In February the national percentage of distressed sales was hovering at 34%. As the backlog of foreclosures enter the market this year it's likely the national number will go back up towards 40%. Mountain sales for the month are listed below this graph.

Distressed sales Nationally

Twelve sales. Five were cash and two purchases were USDA loans. This would be homes for primary home use and income limits to qualify for this type of loan.
