Real Estate La Center WA | Market Statistics and Trends March 2011

Real Estate La Center Washington, Market Statistics
and Trends for March 2011

La Center home sales picked up the slack from February, posting strong a increase...

Earlier in April 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 for March 2011. Here is what we have to report:

From this quick view we see 6 more Pending transactions and 4 fewer Solds when compared to
February, as well as about nine month's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 34.6% of the Active homes listed (a nice drop from last month), and only represent 27.3% of the homes Pending this month.

La Center WA Real Estate Statistics and Trends

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 high level in the number of 3rd Party + Bank Owned homes going Pending, relative to the total number of homes going pending.

The short-sale banks are becoming more pro-active in approving Short Sales -- We believe
this will continue as our local market heals at this stage of the Recovery.
