Homes For Sale in Clark County and Vancouver picking up the Pace.
Clark County and Vancouver WA real estate has been steadily improving after an unusually slow early Summer. We are using the Vancouver MLS (covers Clark County Washington also) to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened real estate wise within the confines of Clark County Washington (Vancouver USA is the largest community) for the month of September. Here is what we have to report: |
| Clark County and Vancouver WA Real Estate Sales Results for September 2010 |
From this quick view we have just under a year's supply of homes for sale in Vancouver WA. The improvement in sales this late summer time both reflects the families wanting to be in the right home for the starting school year, and with the fantastically low home loan interest rates.
Key items we are looking for the Clark County market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions and firming-prices but, an increase in the "Normal Sale" (i.e., non-Pre-Foreclosure / Foreclosure) Category. In our opinion with about 44% of the Pending status homes being 3rd party or Foreclosure transactions (an increase from last month), we are likely at the bottom. Prices have been relatively flat, with some up and down, which is a typical sign of base-building.
