Real Estate Topping the Charts for June 2015 for Vancouver WA !

The Vancouver Washington 2015 Real Estate Market Rally turned phenomenal results for June; combined with the Median Days On Market still less than 20 days!  Here are the highlight for June:
  • 509 Resale Homes were sold in June 2015, which is 79 (18.4%) more homes than had sold in June 2014.
     
  • The Price Trend Lines are still very strong, with the 3-Month Moving Average up 10.44% at $265,053; and the 12-Month Moving Average up 10.93%, and now at $254,656.
      
  • Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 16 units (3.1% of total); down from last month; and a nice improvement when compared to 24 (5.6% of total) in June of 2014.
  • REO/Bank Owned home sales were 28 units (5.5% of total); and in a downward trend compared to 42 (9.8% of total) in June of 2014.
     
  • Inventory for Resale Homes at the end of June was at 2.1 Months! - a slight change in the Buyer's favor but, still very much a Seller's Market!
Up next are the important Vancouver WA Real Estate Market Charts we'd like to share! 

The Quantity (Unit-Sales) of Resale Homes sold (Excludes New Construction) are the first to be shown.  We use the simple method of statistical smoothing to show the short term trend line -- the 3-month Moving Average; and the longer term trend line -- the 12-month Moving Average.

Recent National news has talked about the Real Estate Market Pending Sales cooling in June. What that headline fails to capture for Vancouver WA, is the early increased purchase/sale activity locally that has taken place so far in 2015.  

Vancouver's Resale Average Home Sales-Prices for June 2015 are still in a strong upward move, as the chart below shows.

111 properties (22%) were priced $200,000 or less when sold; with 147 (29%) sold that were priced $200,000 to $250,000. This rapid rise in home sales-prices has been making it more difficult for entry-level or, first-time home-buyers to make their purchase..   

These chats below are from RMLS showing the most recent twelve-month's of action for Unit Sales, Average & Median Prices; and Days on Market:
