Real Estate La Center Washington, Market Statistics
and Trends for February 2011
La Center saw a decrease in real estate and homes going under contract and closed sales. Taking a pause from a Good January...
Early in March 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 February 2011. Here is what we have to report:
From this quick view we see 2 fewer Pending transactions and Solds when compared to
January, as well as about seven month's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 37.0% of the Active homes listed (a nice drop from last month), yet they represent 80.0% of the homes Pending this month.
The table below shows the key activity indicators for the past three months in La Center (right-click your mouse when over this image and follow your browser's instructions to view larger size image):
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.
The short-sale banks are becoming more pro-active in approving Short Sales -- We believe
this will continue...
