Clark County WA Real Estate For Sale - January 2022 Report

Real Estate Closed Sale Prices rise slightly; with Unit Sales Slowing being Constrained by Lack of Inventory for Clark County WA in January 2022.

Sales Prices rose modestly to achieve another new High. Seasonally we expect the number of Units-Sold per-month to be falling - although this year's number is much less than last year's - very likely due to the greatly reduced available Inventory for home buyers to shop. Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up just over $4k+ finishing up at $555,946; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 18.48% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 18.05% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property moved up only 0.1 Month's worth, ending at the super-low 0.3 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 390 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 42 less (9.72%) properties than in 2021; and 276 fewer than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 2 (0.46%) in 2021; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); no change from 0 (0%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, rose strongly ending at a monthly average of 3.45% ; compared to 2.74% for January 2021. Rates have risen strongly this first month of the year, and are expected to have continued upward pressure in the near term.

Next up is a Custom Chart (below) I created to show Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend January 2022

The short-term trend is both in the stronger-part of its seasonal decline, compounded by the much lower level of closings seen from the dearth of Inventory. The long-term trend-line is stubbornly in a plateau however, this cannot last much longer at a continued slower pace of sales. This month's sales for the County is behind last year's total home sales by 42 properties (-9.72%).

Continuing on is my chart showing the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term line climbing slightly to a new high; with the long-term trend also moving up to a new high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend January 2022

Clearly Prices over the past 12 months have risen strongly overall at a pace not far under 20%. With Interest rates jumping up recently, we expect prices to be facing stronger headwinds in the near-term.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $555,946; which is approximately $85,025 (+18.05%) higher than this time last year.

The remaining collection of graphs for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - January 2022

New Listings and  Pending Sales both rose at about the same pace this month; with Closed Sales quite a bit lower than the previous month. With New Listings not moving up strongly so far,  Active Inventory only moved slightly up to 0.3 month's of supply. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales hitting a new high; and the Average Listing Price coming in modestly below that number.

Finally, the Average Days on Market increased by 1 day finishing at 23 days; and Median Days on Market fell one day ending at 6 days. The pace of this market is still quick for this typically slower time of year.

Clark County WA Homes For Sale - December 2021 Report

A Relatively Small-up-tic in the Real Estate Price; with Unit Sales at a  Strong Level but Constrained by Low Inventory for Clark County WA in December 2021.

A new high was hit this month for Sales Prices enabled by just a small rise off their plateau level. The seasonally falling number of Units-Sold per-month has met the horizontally-moving Long-Term trend-line. Here are the key points for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up just under $6k+ finishing up at $552,543; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 18.92% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 17.96% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property is now well below one-month's worth, at the record-low 0.2 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 648 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 21 more (3.24%) properties than in 2020; and no change from last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 3 units (0.39% of total); down from 4 (0.638%) in 2020; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 1 (1.59%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, rose slightly ending at a monthly average of 3.10% ; compared to 2.68% for December 2020. Rates have risen off their Low however, they are still at very low levels when compared to past history.

I have prepared the Custom Chart (below) to show Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend December 2021

The short-term trend is well into its seasonal decline, when last year at this time this measure was peaking. The long-term trend-line is moving horizontally (plateau) although it is in record high territory. The County has finished the year ahead of last years total home sales by 1,013 properties (+14.4%).

Next up we have a chart showing the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term line edging up to a new high; with the long-term trend also moving up to a new high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend December 2021

Without a doubt Prices have risen strongly overall this year; and at a pace over 20%+ for the early Summer. However, the new high we've just hit is only $2k higher than the mark hit in August. With such a low level of Supply, and continued low interest rates we currently don't expect prices to be too "soft" in the near term.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $552,543; which is approximately $84,116 (+17.96%) higher than this time last year.

This final set of charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - December 2021

New Listings and  Pending Sales both eased this month; with Closed Sales coming in with no change for this month. With Pending Sales stronger than New Listings, we see Active Inventory sliding again and is now at 0.2 month's of supply. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales just below its high; and the Average Listing Price coming somewhat weak, and is below its recent high.

Finally, the Average Days on Market increased by 2 days finishing at 22 days; and Median Days on Market remained at 7 days. We clearly have a very brisk market for this slower time of year.

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend November 2021

We've had a relatively strong showing this year for rising prices, and we are finally seeing "resistance" of some form or fashion in this measurement. With such a low level of Supply, and continued low interest rates we currently don't expect prices to be too "soft" in the near term.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $546,659; which is approximately $78,207 (+16.69%) higher than this time last year.

Clark County WA Real Estate For Sale - August 2021 Report

A Slight Slowing Seen in the Real Estate Price Rise; with Unit Sales remaining Strong for Clark County WA in August 2021.

This month we finally see slowing in the rising prices for the County - although the resultant level is still 20%+ higher than last year. We've also seen the typical slowing in the number of units-sold but again, the number is 100 units higher than the same month last year. Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $7k+ finishing up at $550,668; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 19.009% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 20.6% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property is still below one-month's worth, at the super-low 0.7 Month's worth of Supply;

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, moved down slightly ending at a monthly average of 2.84% ; compared to 2.94% for August 2020. The Federal Reserve is still in the mode of keeping this benchmark rate low, and pumping funds into the markets.

Custom Charts (below)I have prepared show Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend August 2021

The short-term trend is now rising less steeply and may be near this year's high. The long-term trend-line is showing a slowing phase also. So far this year the County is ahead of last years total home sales by over 1,051 properties (+25%).

Next up are my charts showing the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term measure hitting another record; with the long-term trend also at a new high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend August 2021

With such a large increase in properties purchased so far this year, it is perhaps little wonder that the available Active Inventory at any one time is very slim. Once again we have finished the month with less than one month's worth of available supply.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $550,668; which is approximately $94,062 (+20.60%) higher than this time last year.

These remaining charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - August 2021

Both New Listings and Closed Sales eased this month; with Pending sales gaining slightly. Active Inventory at 0.7 month's of supply remains stubbornly below one-month's worth of supply. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales a few hundred dollars below its high; and the Average Listing Price coming in a few thousand dollars below its recent high.

Finally, the Average Days on Market increased by just 2 days; and Median Days on Market remained at 5 days. This is the 7th month in a row that the Median has been at 5 or fewer days.

Clark County WA Homes For Sale - July 2021 Report

Unit Home Sales Remain Strong; With Sales Prices Up Almost 24% for Clark County WA in July 2021.

Sales Prices that have Risen Extremely Rapidly to High Levels, are the biggest part of the story these days. At present prices are almost $105k higher than a year ago!  Unit Sales have remained strong, although in other parts of the country sales may be slowing. So far almost 27% more homes have sold year-to-date. New Listings came in stronger this month too however, we are still below One-Month's worth of Supply. Here are this month's key points:  

• Average-Sales Price rose by just under $13k finishing up at $543,945; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 19.78% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 23.87% from last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Homes finished the month at 0.7 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 828 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 59 more (7.7%) homes than in 2020; and 2 less than last month;

• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 3 (0.39%) last year.

The Nation-wide average Home Loan Mortgage 30-year-fixed loan interest rate at month-end, fell again slightly to 2.87% according to Freddie Mac; compared to 3.02% for July 2020. We are hearing that the Fed's "Tapering" has been put off again, perhaps into next year, which should mean this benchmark rate will likely remain below 3.0% for a while longer.

Next we have my custom chart for Home-Sales Unit-Volume (number of homes sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend July 2021

We are still in the "blow up" phase of this bubble, as visible by the steep and high rise of the trend(s).  With the County's population just recently crossing over the 500k mark, it is perhaps no wonder that the unit-sales are in their highest-ever territory. Year-to-date we are now ahead of last years total home sales by 940 homes (or, 26.9%).

This next chart shows the trend for the Average Home Sales Prices. Both the short-term line and the long-term trend are in their steepest ever (at least for this multi-year cycle) upward move: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend July 2021

We still see the rate of increase for home sales prices exceeding 20% annually. Inflation is also widely reported in other parts of the Economy thus, overall "Affordability" has been taking an ever increasing Hit. 
 
Clark County's Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $543,945; which is approximately $104,825 (+23.87%) higher than this time last year.

These remaining charts for this home sales report come from RMLS showing:

Clark County Home Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - July 2021

For the first graph, we see New Listings moving up to another new-High for the year. Pending Sales however, have eased for the second month in a row - although still at a relatively high-level. Closed Sales again hit another high - but only by 3 units this time!

The second graph shows Prices for Closed Sales notching another new-high; and Average Listing Price coming in slightly below its highest mark.

Finally, the Average Days on Market and Median Days on the Market rose remained unchanged at extremely low level. The Median has been at 5 or lower Days for 6 months in a row now!

Prices have risen so fast and so far that their level is over $100,000 higher than this time last year! Unit Sales now exceed last year's mark by 31%. Needless to say, Active Inventory still remains super-low while this over-heated, bubbling market moves on. Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $14k+ finishing up at $531,148; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 18.44% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 24.19% from this time last year;

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, remained almost unchanged ending at a monthly average of 2.98% ; compared to 3.16% for June 2020. We are hearing the Federal Reserve is still in the mode of keeping this benchmark rate low.

I have prepared a custom chart showing Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend June 2021

We see the short-term trend rising quite steeply and is very near last year's high. The long-term trend-line continues to rise at its steepest rate in decades. So far this year the County is ahead of last years total home sales by over 855 properties (+31%).

Continuing on to the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term measure is still rising steeply and in record territory; with the long-term trend also powering to a new high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend June 2021

The persistent extremely low level of Active Inventory has extended the imbalance between Buyers and available properties to purchase, with the strong rapid rise in prices to be inevitable.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $531,148; which is approximately $103,447 (+24.19%) higher than this time last year.

These final charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - June 2021

Both New Listings and Closed Sales had strong gains; with Pending sales gaining a small amount. Active Inventory at 0.6 month's of supply remains near the record-low, a clear sign of an un-balanced market. 

The second graph shows both the Average Price for Closed Sales and Average Listing Price coming in at new high-marks.

Finally, both the Average Days on Market and Median Days on Market are at their low for the past 12 months.

Homes For Sale Clark County WA - May 2021 Report

Unit Home Sales Are Many Magnitudes Higher; With Sales Prices Exceeding a 22% Increase for Clark County WA in May 2021.

Unit Sales in early 2020 were hampered by the Government's orders yet, this year we have sold almost 30% more homes year-to-date. Strong demand and a relative shortage of homes for sale is keeping prices rising at a very fast pace. Finally,  Interest rates once again fell below the already low 3.0% mark. Here are this month's key points:  

• Average-Sales Price rose by about $13k finishing up at $518,656; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 17.12% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 22.94% from last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Homes finished the month at 0.5 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 675 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 211 more (45.5%) homes than in 2020; and 30 more than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 6 (1.29%) in 2020; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 2 (0.43%) last year.

The Nation-wide average Home Loan Mortgage 30-year-fixed loan interest rate at month-end, fell again slightly to 2.96% according to Freddie Mac; compared to 3.23% for May 2020. With no end yet to the Federal Reserve purchasing Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS); combined with lessening demand in some parts of the country, we are seeing the benchmark rate falling again.

Below is my custom chart for Home-Sales Unit-Volume (number of homes sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend May 2021

This chart is clearly showing we are in a historic "blow-up" market, when the short-term trend would typically be crossing and be above the long-tern trend; however, this year the long-term trend has been rising so quickly the short-term trend has not yet "caught" it!!! Clearly both trends we are now selling more homes than at any previous time in history. Overall the County is now ahead of last years total home sales by 634 homes (or, 29.92%).

My next chart shows the Average Home Sales Prices. Both the short-term line and the long-term trend are in their steepest ever (at least for this multi-year cycle) upward move: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend May 2021

With home sales prices rising at a rate exceeding 20% annually; and Wages increasing in the low-single-digit range; many of us are waiting for the "air" to be let out of this bubble.
 
Clark County's Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $518,656; which is approximately $96,763 (+22.94%) higher than this time last year.

My remaining charts for this home sales report come from RMLS showing:

Clark County Home Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - May 2021

In the first graph, it shows New Listings easing from last month with a big However, the mark for both months are about as high as seen last year. Pending Sales shot up this month, to the highest level in the past 12 months (and perhaps the highest level ever). Closed Sales continue to rise as expected for this time of year.

The second graph shows Prices for Closed Sales moving strongly to another new-high; and Average Listing Price essentially tying its highest mark.

Finally, the Average Days on Market moved up by 3 days to 17 day. Median Days on the Market rose remained (fourth month in a row) at the 12-month low of four days. Clearly we are in an extremely fast-paced market.
