Real Estate La Center Washington, Market
Statistics for December 2010
La Center saw more real estate and homes going under contract and closed
sales. Looking better than many other Clark County areas...
Early in December we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and La Center to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened with real estate and home sales within the confines of La Center, in Clark County Washington for December 2010. Here is what we have to report:
From this quick view we see 3 more Pending transactions and Solds when compared to
November, as well as about eight month's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 43.9% of the Active homes listed (slightly above the Norm for the County), yet they represent 30.0% of the homes Sold this month (vs 100% in November).

Key items we are looking for in a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions but, an increase in the "Normal Sales" category. County-wide we have seen a continued higher level in the number of 3rd Party + Bank Owned homes going Pending, relative to the total number of homes going pending. Are the banks becoming more pro-active in approving Short Sales? -- We believe that is the case, and will continue to watch and see...
