Distressed Sales of Bank Owned and Short Sales are WAY DOWN!

Monday, July 21, 2014
by Liz Warren

Here are stats from RMLS showing the second quarter number of distressed sales in the Portland Metro area. The Mt. Hood area from Brightwood to Government Camp currently has six distressed sales including five bank owned properties and one short sale for a Collins Lake Condo unit. 

In my opinion, several of the bank owned properties currently for sale are properties that would never receive financing in today's strict lending environment. They were likely refinanced or purchased during the bubble and now in todays' lending arena these homes have problems that will be challenging to fix or overcome. As with any foreclosure, buyer beware. No representations from the bank requires major due diligence.

Mt Hood Sales for June 2014 are In

Monday, July 14, 2014
by Liz Warren

The recent numbers are in from RMLS for June 2014 on Mt. Hood. Here is the recently released chart of sales and information for the Mt. Hood area. 

Mt. Hood real estate sales for June 2014

 

June numbers are standing strong with 20 closed transactions for the month! A surprise is that pending sales in June compared to the year before at this time were down nearly 23% this month. Another surprise is the marketing time of 204 days for the properties which closed this month. Once again we are flushing out inventory and working on getting on a normal market. Different pricing points have much better inventory levels which will cause prices to stabilize and appreciate than others.

Mt. Hood Highway Safety and Preservation Construction Starts This Summer

Tuesday, July 8, 2014
by Liz Warren

Anyone traveling along the Mt. Hood Corridor between Rhododendron and Government Camp to Bend and other East side destinations will need to be ready for delays due to the Mt. Hood Highway Safety Project slated for this summer and fall.

What are the projects?

*Blasting to widen the highway and building a retaining wall to prevent rocks from entering the highway

*Paving 8 miles of road

*A concrete barrier to the road will be installed from above Kiwanas Camp Road to the big curves at Mirror Lake.

What does this mean for locals and travelers coming in to the area?

*Potential one hour delays between 5:30 and 7:30 PM. on Monday through Thursdays while blasting occurs. There potentially will be temporary closures for the trails at Mirror Lake also during blasting. Delays may not take an entire hour. The exact times have not been determined. No work on Sundays and holidays. Work will end in November.

*Intermittent traffic delays of 20 minutes during the entire period of construction reducing the travel lanes to one lane in each direction.

*Lots of truck traffic will be on the roads hauling away the blasted rock.

For updates and additional information on the project visit the Mt. Hood Highway Safety Project site.

An online open house explaining the project in detail can be found on the ODOT site.

Timberline Rim Home Sales are Up in 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014
by Liz Warren

One of the more popular areas in the Mt. Hood area is Timberline Rim a subdivision that wraps around the Sandy River in Rhododendron and Brightwood. After going through many foreclosures after the last couple of years, the area has stabilized and equities increased allowing the foreclosures to diminish to a trickle and owners who have been waiting to sell have seized their opportunities. The low HOA of $200 per year make Timberline Rim an attractive alternative to other options in the area. Amenities include a swimming pool open during summer months, tennis court, hoops for basketball, a lodge for meetings and movies, foosball table and pool table too. Common areas bring access to all residents for easy access to the Sandy River. 

The proximity to hiking in the Mt. Hood National Forest, mountain biking at the Sandy Basin Park located just down the road are excellent easy access recreational opportunities. Near by is a 27 hole golf course at the Resort at the Mountain and don't forget year round skiing about a half hour away at Timberline Lodge!

Twelve sales since the beginning of the year in Timberline Rim are the most we have seen in years. Buyers are purchasing full time homes and recreational homes. Here are the most recent sales:
