Real Estate Vancouver WA Market Report for February 2011

Homes For Sale Vancouver WA See More Buyers and Sellers...

Real Estate in Vancouver WA has seen good action in February with Pending Sales jumping up about 25% over January; with a modest increase in the total Active listings.  Home buyers were also treated with interest rates dropping lower (to around 4 3/4% for the benchmark 30-year fixed rate loan) during the month, and also paying attention to the firming up of prices.

Of the single-family houses and condos for sale that went pending in February,  we saw both the Short Sales and the Bank Owned Homes (aka "distressed properties") capturing 49% of the market; a high number to be sure but, a welcome decrease from December's 61.0% of the total Pending Sales.

The Chart below shows the current trend of home prices for Vancouver WA, compared to other Pacific Northwest cities of Seattle Washington, and Portland Oregon. - all cities are showing sliding prices, and the downward slope for Vancouver appears to have halted, with the past
several weeks showing a horizontal direction.

For home prices to start going up, we will typically first see a meaningful AND sustained increase in the number of homes purchased in both Vancouver and the other major Pacific Northwest cities. Although there had been modest levels in home buying activity for the early part of this year, we are continuing to see the seasonal lower volume and softer prices at this time of the year.
