The latest minutes of the Oregon Housing Council contain some truly
astonishing figures which, if true, could well discuss prices Way
above what we've discussed so far. But these might well be exceptions
at the Very high end of the range:
OREGON STATE HOUSING COUNCIL
Minutes of Meeting
Oregon Housing & Community Services
Large Conference Room -124 A/B
725 Summer Street NE, Suite B, Salem, Oregon 97301
9:00 a.m.
June 2, 2006
....
Maggie LaMont asks about condo #9 on page 26 and whether or not $309
per square foot is typical for that area. She says she knows it
appraises out, and that there was discussion about the high cost per
square foot in the last minutes. Tillotson says that they have done
other loans in that same condo project and they are all about that
same cost per square foot.
Chair Ortiz says that on #11 (manufactured home), he is surprised by
the cost per square foot of $124.63. Tillotson explains that what
lenders have been telling them is that in Klamath Falls prices of
homes are going up. We do see a lot of manufactured homes on land
down there and it is a good-sized lot at 14,000 square feet. LaMont
states that they are probably paying more for the land. Tillotson
says yes, a lot of it is the land cost.....
The minutes are not clear on what Only the construction cost is, but
it would seem to be within and toward the high end of the range we've
previously discussed.
That's the most current data I've found available, anyway.
