April Closings on Mt. Hood Slide

Friday, May 15, 2015
by Liz Warren

The market conditions report in RMLS were a surprise for April with five closed sales for the month. Inventory surged in April with a whopping 31 new properties to hit the market. Although this news was a bit unnerving, there's currently 24 pending sales in line for closings so it could be a matter of the slower winter contracts in January and February that finally closed in April. I expect May and June's numbers to be substantially higher. 

Recent surges in purchases have caused longer inspection periods due to scheduling home and septic inspections. The second delay is the appraiser delays. They are backed up due to the number of buyers purchasing this spring. 

Although it's not reflected in April's closings, we will be seeing a great summer of activity this year.  I've posted the five closed sales under the RMLS chart below.

Real Estate Sales on Mt. Hood for March 2015 Summary

Sunday, April 19, 2015
by Liz Warren

Recent numbers came in from RMLS for March 2015 mountain area sales. 

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for March 2015

Area 153, as defined by RMLS, compromises the Mt. Hood market and is physically a smaller area than probably most as listed in RMLS stretching from Government Camp to the Cherryville Hill area between Brightwood and Sandy. This space stretches around 30 miles as the crow flies from one end of Highway 26 to the other. 

I'm bringing this up because despite what these numbers tell us, our market is hoping and it's not really reflected in the RMLS numbers. The thirteen closed sales is consistent with the numbers we've seen through 2014 for a very strong market.

March stats were a bit surprising considering the amount of activity our office has seen. Pending sales are down nearly 40% from last year from March 2014. Marketing time is improving as inventory that had been sitting for sale a long time is moving out. Nearly a third of the current inventory came to market in March with 26 new listings! Our amazing spring like weather has led sellers to getting started early in the marketing process. We predict a very busy spring of sales.

Morning Coffee

Monday Morning Coffee

 

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:
 
"It is a simple procedure to calculate the number of seeds in an apple. But, who among us can say how many apples there are in a seed?" 
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
 
WANT ABUNDANCE IN YOUR LIFE?
 
Who among us would answer "NO" to that question? Yet abundance often seems beyond our reach. We see it in others, but do not believe it is in us. We see ourselves as the apple (limited), rather than the seed (limitless).
 
So, what's the first step on the road to abundance? Wayne Dyer thinks it is giving thanks - for what you already have. That might include good health, a new baby on the way, loving parents, a career you enjoy, or money in the bank. You do have a few things going for you - right?
 
Just as the potential of the seed in the apple is limitless, so is your ability to attract abundance. By focusing on what you already have, you begin to deny what you don't. Your attention is drawn away from the scarcity in your life - and towards the abundance that already exists in your world.
 
You may be thinking that when you achieve abundance, you will finally be complete. Therein lies the surprise - that you are already complete. You are never going to get it all, because you have it all already. That's right. If you are not currently thankful for the good in your life, having more of it will make no difference.
 
The secret to abundance then lies within you. Place your thoughts squarely on what you already have, be grateful, and it will expand beyond your wildest dreams. Believe you have nothing until you get more, and you will spiral endlessly downward in despair at how unjustly the world is treating you.
 
Want abundance in your life? Think about it!
