Mt. Hood Fixer

Mt. Hood Fixer Upper in Welches        Welche Fixer near Sandy River

This Mt. Hood Fixer is on a half acre of land that has views of the Sandy River from the lot. Clackamas County owns the property between the river and the lot so easy access to enjoy. One bedroom needs lots of TLC and has a shared septic system and is on a three party well. A road divides the lot  but it's a dead end street with minimal traffic. 

If you have some skills to fix things up, you can't beat the price of $99,950 for this fixer! It would make a great getaway or full time home for the mountain.

Mt. Hood September 2019 Real Estate Sales

Mt. Hood sales are up with pending sales in September reaching 31% higher than this same time period in 2018. Average sales price is $354,000! Twenty sales closed in September and the activity is continuing into October. There are currently 63 residential properties for sale and there are 29 pending sales as of today. These numbers bode well for a great fall of activity.

Pre-Emtive Power Shut Down Could Come to the Mountain?

by Liz Warren

The big California fire in and near Paradise, Ca. was started by a PG & E line in 2018 and the lawsuits have been flying since potentially bankrupting the utility company. Super high winds, which spread that fire, are scheduled to kick up today and tomorrow in the bay area and power to the entire region is set to shut down by PG & E. They want to shut down power for 2.4 MILLION people in the San Francisco bay area! That sounds like a monumental task to me and what kind of chaos will that cause for the area. 

I caught this media blurb about our PGE company considering the same preventative outage plan for Government Camp and Welches in the extreme event of super high fire danger and high wind conditions. After watching the Eagle Creek Fire in the Gorge burn up thousands of acres in 2017, although man-made, it's surely on everyone's mind. 

PGE officials say, it's only under consideration and highly unlikely this would happen unless we came into very extreme conditions. PGE was cutting back all trees and brush in the Mt. Hood National Forest along power lines all summer with large fleets of workers staged locally in Zig Zag completing the task. 

 

Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals

by Liz Warren

If there's one dominating market segment on Mt. Hood these days, it's the vacation rental market. This frequently combines an owners personal use with funds to offset their expenses to help pay off that mortgage or create a stream of income. 

Clackamas County has studied the vacation rental market since there are no zoning and regulation policies for vacation rentals. Here is a recent notification from the county if you've been following the studies and local meetings:

The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners is holding a policy session on Wednesday, Sept. 25 to discuss draft regulations for short-term rentals in unincorporated Clackamas County.  The meeting is scheduled from 9:30-11 a.m. in the Board Hearing Room on the 4th floor of the Public Services Building, 2051 Kaen Rd., Oregon City.

The materials prepared for the meeting by staff, including the draft regulations, are available here: https://dochub.clackamas.us/documents/drupal/41f33e9e-8da9-420d-9b13-0abb8e81722c.  The purpose of the meeting is for staff and commissioners to discuss next steps related to these draft regulations.  The public is welcome to observe, but there will not be an opportunity for public comment.  An audio-tape of the meeting will be available later in the week at https://www.clackamas.us/meetings/bcc/presentation
