Ridgefield WA Homes For Sale | Market Activity November 2010
Earlier in December we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Ridgefield to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened during November with real estate and home sales within the confines of the Ridgefield zip code 98642, in Clark County Washington. Here is what we have to report:
From this brief view we see a relatively small number of Pending transactions this month when compared to typical volume; as well as approximately fourteen month's supply of inventory (based on and average of Pending & Solds) available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 22.2% of the Active Ridgefield homes listed for sale (much lower than the County Average), yet they represent about 35.7% of the homes going under contract (52.6% is the County Average in November).
Ridgefield WA was one of the hardest hit areas for distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) and was hit early, and is now showing relatively better ratios of normal sales vs distressed property sales when compared to Clark County WA overall. With a possible bottoming of prices / values, now is one of the best times to purchase a property in Ridgefield!
