Mosier in the Gorge: Selling a Park Home Well
Mosier is a small Wasco County town on the Columbia River, in the Gorge. The 2020 Census counted 468 people here. It is a scenic place, and scenery draws lookers. Lookers are not buyers. Your listing must turn scenery interest into a serious inquiry with facts.
Gorge buyers often come from Hood River, The Dalles, or Portland. They compare Mosier with those towns on price and monthly cost. A listing that hides the lot rent loses to a listing that shows it.
Mosier Manor: The Park to Know
Park directories list Mosier Manor Mh Community at 1300 Third Avenue in Mosier, with 77 lots. It is the park name buyers will recognize in this town. A second source spells it Mosier Manor Mobile Home Court at the same address.
No present-day rent appears in the sources used for this guide. That gap is common for smaller Gorge parks. The fix is simple: call the park office, ask for the current rent and what it includes, and publish that number. If the rent changed recently, say when it changed. Buyers trust a seller who volunteers the rent history more than one who hides it.
Seventy-seven lots is a mid-size park. It is large enough to feel like a neighborhood and small enough that park rules and neighbor relations matter. Ask the park for its written rules and approval steps before you list.

Steps Every Mosier Seller Follows
Oregon treats most park homes as titled personal property. The transfer runs through Oregon DCBS for a $55 fee, not through a deed. Tax certification on Form 2952 from the county comes before any DCBS transfer. Do that step first, not last.
For park approval, The park decision clock under ORS 90.680 runs 7 days on a complete file, or 10 days if the pre-sale notice was not given. Rent increases need 90 days of written notice and may happen no more than once in 12 months.Read this section as general information, not legal guidance. If your park has additional written requirements, follow those too.

What if I cannot find a published rent? The park office answers that question then. No published rent was found for Mosier Manor here, so confirm it directly.
Should I list in winter? Gorge winters are quieter, but serious buyers still search online year-round. A complete listing works in any season.
