Recently we compiled stats to see how distressed properties are affecting our real estate market. In almost all counties you can see an increase in the number of bank owned sales in 2010. Wasco and Hood River county almost have the same percentage of bank owned sales. We are fortunate to have as healthy of a housing market as we do. Don Nunamaker, Realtors premidomently works out of Hood River. Hood River county is very fortunate if you compare it to Skamania county. Where almost 1 out of every 3 sales is a bank owned property. It will be interesting to see how foreclosures will affect the market in 2012.
