Portland, Oregon Fitness: Mount Talbert Trail-Run

Portland, Oregon Fitness: Trail Running on Mount Talbert, off Sunnyside Road, in Happy Valley [caption id="attachment_8110" align="alignleft" width="300"] Portland Trail Running: Mount Talbert Topography[/caption] The steep hills make this short run near Portland, Oregon into something like a "fartlek" where the changes in terrain offer this runner challenging conditions. I have found this to be excellent cross training as a cardio workout to support my general fitness goals and so I'm in shape for kickboxing. If you're new to trail running you can also make this into a hike or by jogging sections as you catch your breath just to get a start on fitness. I've also thought of strapping on my backpack and using these hills as conditioning for multi-backpacking and wilderness hiking. In light of Portland's rugged Northwest…

Real Estate

Local Realtors Serving Happy Valley, Damascus & Clackamas *Click the expanding tabs below to explore your market details In sharp contrast to Portland's recent bout of cool, temperate weather, local home values throughout the Portland metro area are continuing their meteoric rise.

Happy Valley Real Estate Action Report

Real Estate

The recent volume of properties sold in Happy Valley has been upbeat with values increasing modestly followed by periods of settling during hints of downward pressure.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Foreclosures

economy, Oregon Foreclosures

An audit of newly filed judicial foreclosures in Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties during the 4th quarter period of 2012 clearly reflects the fact that distressed property owners remain in need of professional short sale real estate services.

With today’s home values similar to values of 2003 we have a ways to go before we reach a full housing market recovery as distressed property owners owing more on home mortgages than market sale price will deliver still represent a…
