From this quick review we see an earlier strong upward "blip" in the Average Camas Home Sales Price, is now moderating downward
-- yet still well above the low-point for 2010. With the average Camas Home price generally higher than the Portland / Vancouver Metro area average, it is reasonable to expect a somewhat slower sales picture for this relatively small area.
