June 2016 Sales Numbers from RMLS for Mt. Hood

Saturday, July 16, 2016
by Liz Warren

The latest RMLS sales statistics are in for the Mt. Hood area. Numbers are showing fifteen closed sales for the month of June, 2016. Activity is at a booming pace right now with occasional multiple offers depending on the property or price range.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE right now for financed properties: APPRAISALS. Lenders are having a nearly impossible time getting appraisers to come to the mountain and complete appraisals. The pace and appraisal business in Portland is in so much in demand that coming to Mt. Hood is frequently turned down for easier jobs closer to the urban core. Count on a good 30 days before you'll see an appraisal for a bank loan and that may not include the "due time" back to the lender-an additional 7-10 days. 

Delayed closings are becoming the norm for our area and that is brutal for buyers moving from far away and sellers timing their new purchase and move. I receive multiple calls in a week from mortgage brokers, banks and AMC's (Appraisal Management Companies) begging for names of appraisers. Welcome to the Mt. Hood summer market!

Here's a great recreational cabin that has room for a lot of folks! A huge living room with a stone wood burning fireplace and lots of wood is the main gathering area. The master bedroom is on the main level. Upstairs are two more bedrooms plus a loft area to add more sleeping area if needed. Serve up the pancakes as you chow down in a window filled dining area.

Top Ten Cities People Are Moving To

Thursday, June 2, 2016
by Liz Warren

As we all have noticed, lots of people are moving to Oregon from out of state. Here is a recent graphic from Realtor.com showing where people are moving to and the average price of the homes in those cities. 

The Portland median home price is $416,300 which is the highest on this list. We've seen a significant number of out of state buyers moving to the mountain due to affordability. We're also seeing baby boomers who have lived in Portland all their lives heading to the mountain for retirement and some elbow room. Our inventories are down which means rising prices for homes in our area.
