La Center WA Real Estate | Market Update for October 2010

Real Estate La Center Washington, Market Activity October 2010

Early in November we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and La Center to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened with real estate and home sales within the confines of La Center, in Clark County Washington. Here is what we have to report:

 From this quick view we see 3 fewer Pending transactions when compared to the Sold Homes, as well as about a
nine month's supply (maybe slightly less) of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 45.3% of the Active homes listed (about the Norm for the County), yet they represent about
50.0% of the homes Sold.

Key items we are looking for in a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions but, an increase in the "Normal Sales" category. County-wide we have seen a continued higher level in the number of 3rd Party + Bank Owned homes going Pending, relative to the total number of homes going pending. Are the banks becoming more pro-active in approving Short Sales? -- We'll continue to watch and see...
