Real Estate Ridgefield WA Market Report for January 2011

Real Estate Ridgefield WA  - Market Trends and Statistics January 2011

 Ridgefield WA Real Estate and Home sales picking up in the New Year, with Short Sales and REOs are still major part of the mix...

Earlier in February we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Ridgefield to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened during January with real estate and home sales within the confines of the Ridgefield zip code 98642, in Clark County Washington. Here is what we have to report:
Ridgefield Washington Real Estate Market Report by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Ridgefield WA
From this brief view we see that the number of Pending transactions this month increased over 50% when compared to last month; as well as a predicted eight (8) month's supply of inventory (based on Pendings) available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 22% of the Active Ridgefield homes listed for sale (much lower than the County Average), yet they represent about 53% of the homes going under contract.

Ridgefield WA has been one of the hardest hit areas for distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) and was hit early, and is now showing relatively comparable ratios of normal sales
vs. distressed property sales when compared to Clark County WA overall.

With an early observed increase in prices / values, now is one of the best times to purchase a property in Ridgefield!
