Mountain Sales Statistics for the Month of November 2013

Sunday, December 22, 2013
by Liz Warren

November continued the pace of  high numbers of closed sales in the Mt. Hood area. Continued optimism about the economy and improving employment numbers has brought more buyers to the table this fall. Projected interest rate increases upon the horizon has also been a motivating factor for many buyers I've worked with. Year end numbers will be arriving after the first of the year to gain perspective on how this year has likely been the best in the past five!

November 2013 Sales for Mt. Hood Skyrocket this Fall

Saturday, December 14, 2013
by Liz Warren

November closings for 2013 continue to ROCK on the mountain with eighteen closed sales for the month! Government Camp sales really pushed numbers up with three Collins Lake Condos closing. Plus, three single family residential home sales at the higher end of the pricing point. Two of the three were in the Alpenglade subdivision hovering at the $700,000 mark and one was new construction in the subdivision on the Ski Bowl side of the hiway 26 called Tyrolean Meadows. This new construction home, built by the developer of Tyrolean Meadows closed at $630,000.

Three forest service cabins closed. Two of these cabins were under $50,000! These are unheard of prices that we haven't seen in decades. I'm not kidding. We haven't seen a cabin sell in this price since the 1980's.

Three distressed properties, foreclosures or short sales, also sold in November. To complete the total, two land sales also closed!

Here is a complete list of the sales. If you have any questions about the market or these specific sales, let me know and I would be pleased to provide additional information.

Sandy Riverfront Cabin on an Acre!

Saturday, December 7, 2013
by Liz Warren

Great little cabin on an acre of Sandy Riverfront on a dead end street tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Mt. Hood. Easy access for skiers to get up to the slopes only 20 minutes away! Not leased land so you can get financing on this one. This cabin sits above the river with a big deck facing the river. Your very own treed forest sits below with a short walk over to the river where a magnificent view of Zig Zag mountain awaits. Fishermen will enjoy the best kept secret fishing hole at the confluence of the Sandy and the Zig Zag Rivers.  

Sandy Riverf Rhododendron Oregon and Zig Zag Mountain

The cabin is big enough for company yet cozy enough for a little getaway on Mt. Hood. There's an open floor plan with wood beamed ceiling and a fireplace in the middle of the first floor for all to see and enjoy. Upstairs is a large bedroom and a bath. The property has its own well and septic too. At only $150,000 this is a great choice for an affordable getaway in the Cascade foothills. LoLo Pass  Road is just a half block away for premium biking and Sandy Ridge Basin Trails a short ride away. Golfers can hit the links at the 27 hole Resort at the Mountain golf course 5 minutes away. A quick one hour from Portland to this great getaway! Offered at $150,000. More details here

Cold Snap Coming to Mt. Hood Area-Winterization Tips

Sunday, December 1, 2013
by Liz Warren

We made it through Thanksgiving with minimal snow on the slopes and the weather folks have the warning signs on for a cold snap that is heading our way next week. It begins on Monday and will be with us through the week, even into next weekend. Home and cabin owners in the area should take preemptive measures now to contain the possible freezing pipe caused water damage that we have see in years past when the temperatures are way under freezing for extended periods of time.

Mt. Hood Ski Forecast for Thanksgiving Week

Monday, November 25, 2013
by Liz Warren

This past opening weekend for skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline lacked a bit snow to really bring out any crowds. The forecast this week doesn't bod well for skiers and boarders but Thanksgiving travel looks great compared to the rest of the country! 

Local businesses and ski areas love Thanksgiving and lack of snow on Mt. Hood creates a difficult economic scene for local merchants in Welches and Government Camp. Check out the balmy weather for the rest of this week.

It could be the perfect week for day trips to Mt. Hood to tour Timberline Lodge, visit the Mt. Hood Brewery for some famous Ice Axe, or hit the links at the Resort at the Mountain! For evenings there's always live music at the Skyway. Have a great Thanksgiving!

This fall continues with record numbers of sales totaling nineteen for October 2013! This has been a spectacular number of closings and the most we've seen in five plus years.

Three of these sales were distressed either foreclosure or short sales. Five sales for Government Camp this month including two condos! After a complete drought of Condo sales for Government Camp over the past three to four years with low prices and lots of distressed sales there's finally some serious movement in this market!

Numbers are out for October 2013 Real Estate Sales on Mt. Hood

Saturday, November 16, 2013
by Liz Warren

RMLS has released the sale info for October 2013 for Mt. Hood and we're still rocking with nineteen closed properties in that month! You can tell some of the lingering inventory has finally gone away with many short sales finally coming to fruition. A whopping average of 242 days on market for these 19 sales! That is a long marketing time. The government shut down for two weeks put many buyers on hold as things were sorted out so it caused quite a dent in the pending sales department down a total of 40% from last year at this time. Now is the time to take advantage of these still super low interest rates!
