Zig Zag Riverfront Cabin in the Mt. Hood National Forest

Sunday, April 8, 2018
by Liz Warren

Zig Zag Riverfront Mt. Hood National forest service cabin located near Rhododendron! This is a great ski cabin with an open floor plan with a soaring river rock fireplace and a wall of windows to look out on the forested setting. Hard wood floors and a cozy toe warming wood stove that warms you up after a day on the Mt. Hood ski slopes!

 

Only 15 minutes to premium Mt. Hood skiing. The pristine setting of the mountain forest is hard to find and with such a quick drive from Portland it’s worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city, loud noises and traffic. You’ll love summers on the mountain for cooling off on mountain trails and taking a bike ride in the nearby Sandy Ridge Mountain Biking Park.

 

Forget those hours in the car over the weekends to hit the ski slopes and battle parking. This cuts your trips to the slopes down to minutes! $279,950

Salmon Valeey Water System in Welches Oregon

Sunday, March 18, 2018
by Liz Warren

If you're in the Salmon Valley Water district you may or may not be aware of a pending sale of the water system. It looks like Northwest Natural Gas Company has struck a deal with the water company in December 2017. The sale should be completed no sooner than 60 days from their agreement and must be approved by the Public Utility Commission of Oregon. It may have already happened by the time this is posted. Here is a link to their website for additional information.

Recently released stats for February by RMLS show only 43 active listings for sale. Inventory is the word of the day for the mountain. This is the greatest seller's market I've seen in over 10 years. Priced right and in demand properties usually have multiple offers within a day. If you're a seller and on the fence, now is the time to have your property on the market.

Replacement of Elk Park Road Bridge over Salmon River March 2018 through Fall 2019

Saturday, March 10, 2018
by Liz Warren

Here are details right from the Clackamas County website:

Project Description: Replace the existing one-lane bridge with a new two-lane bridge. The current bridge, built in 1958, is reaching the end of its functional life and is weight-limited.  The 18-month construction  project includes building a temporary detour bridge, removing the old bridge, building the new bridge and then removing the detour bridge.

Things to be aware of:

  • Trees are being removed early to avoid any conflicts with nesting birds.
  • Work in the water is limited by law to strict time periods (known as the “in-water work window”), generally 6 weeks during the summer
  • There may be delays of up to 20 minutes, but no complete closure is scheduled.  If there is a need for a closure of longer than 20 minutes, area residents will be notified at least 24 hours in advance and accommodations will be made for emergency vehicles, as needed.

Funding:

  • $2.9 million -- Federal Highway Administration Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program
  • $330,000 -- County Road Fund

You may be interested to know:

  • The bridge is a critical life line for residents, as this is the sole access to several homes
  • The bridge is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete.
  • The bridge has three spans (100-foot steel pony truss and two timber approach spans).

Average Sale Price increases in 2018 on Mt. Hood

Monday, February 26, 2018
by Liz Warren

A lack of inventory has driven sales prices up over the past year and here are the current numbers for January. Active listings sit at 44.  Pending sales comparing this January to last January are up 40%! Of course, that could have been due to the crazy January deep freeze we experienced. 

As inventory decreases our median and average pricing points have gone up. Medium price currently sits at $312,000. Last year we sat at $264,800 and in 2016 it was a lowly $235,300. 

Once spring hits we'll know how this will play out and if we'll have some homes to sell. Many buyers are making their land purchases for future development with such a low home supply. If we had some new homes to sell they would fly off the shelf. 

We have a major need for any and all types of homes and cabins so if you're thinking about it, now is the time to get things going!

January 2018 Real Estate Sales on Mt. Hood

Thursday, February 22, 2018
by Liz Warren

Heading into 2018 we are seeing a very low amount of inventory. This is a complete seller's market at this time. Multiple offers are coming in on nearly every new property that hits RMLS. There is fast and furious competition between buyers. I expect this to be the status quo for this year and many sellers are taking advantage of the highest prices we've seen in over a decade!

Here are the thirteen sales for January. There were four closed cabin sales (one is missing from the list as the agent has not placed the sold data in RMLS). Two Government Camp condos closed. One sold at Collins Lake and the other at the Grand Lodges. 

Area rentals are super tight and many ski families are purchasing their properties for use during the winter ski season. Many buyers are purchasing land to build since inventory is so low and the average sales price for homes has reached $351,000 for the past month.
