What is My 98683 Home Worth? - February 2017

98683 Vancouver WA Home Sales Slowly Warming Up in February 2017.


 The Snow last month slowed the Closed sales but, the rainfall did not stop the Pending Sales activity.  Here are this month's highlights from RMLS:

  • 22 Units Closed, with 42 Units going Pending;
       
  • The Average Sales Price was $325,663; with the Average New Listing's price at $339,345.
     
  • Cumulative Days On Market (CDOM) Averaged 38 Days - down quite a bit from last month, and very brisk sales for a Winter-time Month.

  • The Level of Inventory is at 1.1 Months, which is slightly down from last month - very much a  Seller's Market!
With financing rates still in the low 4% range for the traditional 30-year home loan / mortgage; and perhaps lower with some other options. We expect the first part of the year to perhaps be the best time for home-buyers to make a purchase, with the best combination of home price plus lower-financing rates.

We've prepared the following chart with Unit Sales, and Days on Market information shown below (from RMLS chart-tools):

The Inventory-by-Month chart is shows the somewhat low level of Closed-Sales, while Pending Sales exceeded the level of New Listings; leading to a reduction in available inventory.

Average Days on Market dropped moderately, while the Median Days on market dropped quite a bit more - a clear sign home buyers were busy in February!
