News nuggets
Snippets and tidbits from Sisters Country
By Bill Bartlett
Correspondent
" August home sales
continue blistering pace. A
total of 34 homes transacted
last month in Sisters Country
for a combined value of
$27,914,989. The median
sales price was $697,000
as compared to July when
it was exactly $600,000.
August saw eight homes
sell for more than $1 mil-
lion. A five-bedroom, three-
bath home on Chicaree Lane
posted at $2.2 million.
There9s no longer such
a thing as dirt cheap to be
found as even a lot in Coyote
Springs garnered $339,000.
" Builders lament per-
mit delays. Home builders
are distressed by the time to
get a building permit from
the County. A canvas of five
contractors concludes that
permitting times are now
16 weeks on average. Three
weeks was typical just six
months ago. Builders com-
plain that they can9t even get
through to the Community
Development Department
who approve applications.
The Nugget had the same
experience in trying to obtain
comment from a Department
spokesperson. Matt Douthit
of MCD Homes who have
nine lots in varying degrees
of development in Sisters
said, <We can build a home
now faster than we can get it
planned and permitted.=
" COVID-19 cases
among vaccinated continue
rise. The most recent update
from OHA (Oregon Health
Authority) reports that
2,592 vaccinated persons in
Oregon have tested positive
for COVID-19. That is 15.9
percent of all cases. Of those,
4.9 percent have been hospi-
talized and 0.9 percent have

" The ins and outs at the
Post Office. Entering and
exiting Sisters Post Office
from Larch continues to
baffle many patrons. It is
counter intuitive with the
entry on the left and the exit
on the right. Many a motor-
ist has caused a near miss in
going out the <in= and going
in the <out.= Many a heads
are shaken and tempers often
flare.
It is designed this way so
that motorists will be able to
deposit mail at the drive-up
drop box from the driver
window. The signs are clear.
" Highway 20 to close
for three days east of
Sweet Home. September
8-10, there will be a three-
day full road closure east
Sweet Home to the Santiam
Junction, 24 hours per day
starting at 12:01 a.m. on
Wednesday, September 8
through 12:59 p.m. Friday,
September 10. There will be
detour routes in place and
signed. No through traffic
will be allowed on Highway
20. Plan ahead as there may
be additional delays on the
alternate routes due to wild-
fire recovery efforts.
