WHO would buy a home in Corbett in the winter?!

This coming spring will mark seven years of my selling real estate- mostly in Corbett, Oregon. Being a rural property specialist has taught me MANY things and there is still so much more that I will continue to learn as I face new challenges and opportunities on a regular basis. Here are some fun facts that I want to share about real estate in Corbett.
Did you know???
1. There are several homes/properties in Corbett that have a Troutdale address? (Cabbage Hill)
2. There are also several homes with a Corbett address and yet they are located in the Sandy school, water and fire district.
3. EVERY home in Corbett has a septic tank (of SOME sort!!)
4. There is NO NW natural gas line to ANY home in Corbett. If you want gas heat or appliances, you need to either rent or own a propane tank.
5. Folks are either on Corbett water or have their own well or spring! Corbett water is NOT available to all homes, as their lines do not extend out far enough.
6. Currently, there are just 18 homes actively listed For Sale in Corbett.
7. The most expensive listing is $3,995,000.00 and has 14K sq. ft. on 96.69 acres.
8. The median list price is $369,000.
9. The median house size is 2,268 sq. ft.
10. The MOST popular time to list a home is between Spring Break and Halloween.
11. Corbett averages just 24-27 homes SOLD each YEAR.
12. Every single property in Corbett has it's own zoning and possible tax deferrals. Each are unique!
13. Currently, average days on market are 108 for Corbett homes and properties.
14. I have been in EVERY single home that has come on the market in Corbett (except TWO) in the past almost seven years. That means walking the acreage and going into every single outbuilding on site.
15. Because we are unincorporated in Corbett, Multnomah County is our "Big Brother" with zoning, permits, tax and land use issues. I know the planners all by name. :)
16. Does anyone purchase a home in Corbett in the winter? Very few. We average no more than ONE Sold home per month during November- February.
