Vancouver's Condo Market Going Strong in July 2015!
Condos
for sale in Vancouver WA (aka Apartments-to-Own)
are doing extremely well for improvement in both Unit-Sales-Volume, and Average
Sales Price. Here are the highlights for July 2015:
- Condo Average Sales Prices have moved up strongly, with the 3-Month Moving Average
now at $201,790
closing up 14.9% over the prior July; and the 12-Month Moving Average closed up
18.5%
- 75 Resale Condos were sold in July, which is about 23
(44.2%) more condos than in July 2014;
- REO/Bank Owned Condo sales were 5 units (6.7% of total); up from 3
(5.8% of total) in July 2014.
- Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 2 units (1.7% of total); compared to 4 (7.7% of total) in July 2014.
Similar to
SFR Homes for sale in Vancouver WA, Condos and Attached-Homes have seen a
very strong increase in unit-volume however, this group's average price increase
is at almost twice the rate! We continue to see the Distressed-property segment for Condos
shrinking, getting closer to more traditional low-levels.
Next we'd like
to share our Custom Charts for Vancouver Condos!
Vancouver WA Resale Condo Sales - Units Sold Trend July 2015
The chart above for condo units-sold shows we are clearly in record
territory, with the monthly average above 50 units (long-term) and close to 70
for the summer season! If this year's pattern follows that of last year,
we may be near the peak for the year in terms of number of condos sold.
July's results for Average Condo Sales-Prices also show we are in record-setting
territory, with the 3-month moving
average line (in red) still strongly upward. Again, as we are near the end
of the summer, we may see average sales prices start to moderate somewhat.

The set of RMLS chats below show the month-by-month action - through

July's very strong performance is shown in this last trio of charts. With
3 Months for the Median Days on Market below 20 - condo buyers must be ready to
act quickly when a new listing comes out! RMLS is showing the Inventory level for Vancouver Condos at 1.7
months - which is still an extreme Seller's
Market level.
