Mt. Hood Buyer Alert

Saturday, August 22, 2009
by Liz Warren

Ok, now is the time to make your move to purchase on Mt. Hood. In the past week we have seen 22price reductions alone on Mt. Hood inventory from Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron! Sellers are getting even more motivated to get their property sold, sooner, than later! The rush is on for first time home buyers to use that $8,000 tax credit which is about to expire.

Interest rates are the lowest we've seen in the past three months.  So, is this the time to jump in and take advantage of the incredible inventory, low interest rates, and super home buyer credits from the Feds? You bet it is!

The kitchen and dining room areas are spacious and the view from the dining room table is stunning. A nice oil heater warms the entire cabin!
Since this cabin is at a slightly lower elevation your winter access might be better for skiing! Tons of hiking in a pristine setting makes this a super location.

Expiring $8,000 Credit for HomeBuyers!

Monday, August 17, 2009
by Liz Warren

The credit for $8,000 to first time home buyers that qualify is about to expire on November 30 of this year!

Housing lobbyists are busy working on a campaign to get this credit extended for at least another year. Some groups, like home builders, are pushing for the credit to be extended to anyone buying a home, not just first time home buyers. The chairman of the Senate banking committee, Chris Dodd, is pushing for an extension and an expansion to up to $15,000 max for a credit for an additonal year.

Don't count on anything passing but there are certainly groups trying to make this happen. The $8,000 credit has certainly helped the starter home sales but move up buyers have been slow to join the market recovery.

Details to come!

Mt. Hood Area Sales For July 2009

Saturday, August 15, 2009
by Liz Warren

July Mt. Hood property sales followed the trend of the past six months with five sales closing in July. These sales were in Brightwood, Rhododendron, Government Camp and Welches.

Here are the numbers straight out of the Market Update distributed by the Portland multiple listing service.

Although there were only five sales closing in July, there was a definitive market change with buyers as we saw the middle of July and into the beginning of August. You can see this reflected in the pending sales, listed at 20. August closed sales should see the greatest number of the year. There has also been a boost in the inventory with 30 new properties to hit the market in July.

Below are the five sales in July. These are somewhat all over the place with one Condo, a manufactured home, two vacation properties and one foreclosure on the Sandy River. Two years ago that forecloser had sold for $300,000 plus but as a foreclosure it is sellilng at $180,000. There were multiple offers on this property.

Numbers for August sales should skyrocket with the number of pendings. Continued low interest rates and a huge inventory of homes make this a premium time to get that Mt. Hood property.
