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:

by Liz Warren

Record breaking sales for the month of May bring us into the strongest selling season of the year. We have 21 closed sales for the month bringing the strongest totals in many years. Pending sales are up 100% compared to May 2013. Pent up demand, screaming great interest rates and plenty of inventory is pushing sales numbers up every month. I'm forecasting a super busy summer selling season!

Government Camp Sales Soar

Tuesday, May 13, 2014
by Liz Warren

Which real estate market has seen a surge in 2014? I would have to say it's the Government Camp Condo market so far this year. Since January, Government Camp has led the way in the majority of sales over $300,000 on up for the Mt. Hood area real estate market.  Out of the 23 sales so far this year over $300,000, thirteen of those sales have been in Government Camp and the majority of those are condo sales. 

Leading the pack is Collins Lake of course. Equities have risen steadily with the improved market putting many sellers who purchased during the bubble back in the black so they can sell if they wish.

There were even two Grand Lodges sales so far this year with prices coming in at $495,000 and $569,000. The financing woes are over as comparable sales are plenty and the anxiety of getting condos to "comp out" for financing is gone.

Back in 2009 Government Camp only had eleven sales for the entire year! As skiers and boarders arrive for summer, and they seem to be here early with lack of snow in many areas of the country, we expect the summer market to pick up even more so we are gearing up for a big summer of sales. I expect this year to be the most sales we have seen since 2007.

Government Camp Recent Small Earthquakes

Thursday, March 27, 2014
by Liz Warren

This past weekend a series of small earthquakes have been hitting the Government Camp area with up to 30 quakes from a magnitude of .3 to the largest at 2.3 on the Richter scale. Residents have not been able to feel the quakes but scientists are paying attention because this is a new fault that they were not aware of. This fault is now on the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network list of faults to watch. This map is direct from the PNSN website showing the location of the mini-quakes.

Very well built modified A-frame with open spaces that are perfect for full time living or a vacation getaway right on the Sandy River. Sunny decks, a garden area, fruit trees and plenty of room to wonder your property.

Lots of wood throughout. A huge master bedroom is on the main floor with walk in closet and spacious master bathroom with shower and jetted tub. A cozy loft upstairs for guests with a view to the mountains across the Sandy River. 

The green house will get your plants ready for spring. If you have toys, the four car garage/shop is the perfect hang out for a man cave.
