Real Estate Battle Ground WA | Market Statistics and Trends April 2011

Battle Ground WA Real Estate Another Improved Month of Home Sales

Home Sales volume improved once again in Battle Ground, with the third straight month of sales gains...

Earlier this month we checked in with the Battle Ground MLS to see what happened with the real estate statistics and trends within the confines of the Battle Ground zip code 98604, for April. Here is the breakdown by Active | Pending | Sold; and further broken down by 3rd Party/Pre-Foreclosure | Foreclosures:
Battle Ground Washington Real Estate Market Report by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Battle Ground WA
From this quick view we see an increase of 8 units for Pending Sales, and a Decrease in the heavily weighted proportion of distressed properties. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 29.8% of the Active homes listed (33.0% last month), and they represent about 47.7% of the homes going under contract (61.1% last month).
 The table below is from the RMLS, showing the past 3 months of activity (you may right-click on the image and follow your browser's instructions to view the Full-Sized image)

Market Statistics and Trends for Battle Ground April 2011
The Key items we are looking for in a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions but, a decrease in the non-Pre-Foreclosure / Foreclosure Sold category. In our opinion that ratio has started to show measured improvement in April, and if the relative price-strength remains, there is a good environment for recovery.

The Chart Below compares Battle Ground Home Sale Prices by AVERAGE and MEDIAN, in addition to Sales Volumes for the past 12 months:

Real Estate Vancouver WA | Market Statistics and Trends for April 2011

Homes For Sale in Vancouver WA Again Sees More Buyers, this time with  FEWER Sellers...

Real Estate in Vancouver WA  has again seen excellent action in April with Pending Sales moving up about 1.2% over the prior month (44% increase the month before!); with a 2.6% decrease in the total Active listings.

Home buyers were treated with interest rates remaining low (around 4 7/8% for the benchmark 30-year fixed rate loan) during the month, and also seeing the firming up of prices in both Portland and Vancouver.

Of the single-family houses and condos for sale that went pending in March, we saw both the Short Sales and the Bank Owned Homes segments capturing 38.4% of the market; a high number to be sure but, a welcome decrease from December's 61.0% of the total Pending Sales, and March's 45.2%.
The chart below is a matrix representation of the highlights for homes for sale in Vancouver, WA
April 2011:
Vancouver WA Real Estate Market Report, including All Vancouver USA Zip Codes for April 2011 by John Slocum of REMAX Vancouver WA
While the level of Active homes is showing little change, the volume of Pending Sales again picked up very strongly The table below shows the most recent three months of activity for comparison purposes  (right-click on the image to see the enlarged view).


Vancouver WA Real Estate Market Trends for April 2011, John Slocum Realtor Broker Agent with REMAX Vancouver WA

The Chart below shows the current trend of home prices for Vancouver WA, compared to other Pacific Northwest cities of Seattle Washington, and Portland Oregon. - all cities are now showing firming prices, and the price trend for Vancouver during the past several weeks showing a horizontal direction. For home prices to start going up, we will typically first see a meaningful AND sustained increase in the number of homes purchased in both Vancouver and the other major Pacific Northwest cities. Although there had been increases in home buying activity for the early part of this year, we have not yet seen break-out numbers.



In our opinion we have definitely seen positive improvement in several areas: including a Decrease in the relative weight of the Distressed Properties; Relatively stable prices; and Improved Volume these past two months.  In response to RMLS and newspaper reports discussing lower sales volumes for both March and April, both of these outlets Fail to mention that last year the Federal Home Buyers Tax Credit incentive was in full swing, which very much distorted any such comparisons.  Thus, we
are somewhat bullish on the current trends when the tax credit stimulus is discounted from the comparison.

Real Estate Clark County WA | Market Trends and Statistics for April 2011

Home Sales Show Just a Slight Decrease for Vancouver and Clark County Washington in April.

Clark County and Vancouver WA real estate has shown stamina by only slowing 6% after last month's 42% surge in Pending Sales!  The relative mix of 3rd-Party and Distressed properties also dropped slightly from 44.9%  to 40.6% of the total Pending Sales for April.

We are using the Vancouver MLS (covers Clark County Washington also) to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened real estate sales wise within the confines of Clark County Washington (Vancouver USA is the largest community) for the month of April.

The chart below is the condensed version we have prepared from Vancouver MLS data:
Vancouver WA Real Estate Market Report, including Clark County WA for April 2011 by John Slocum of REMAX Vancouver WA
This month the level of Active homes is showed a slight decrease, with the volume of Pending Sales
remaining relatively strong. The table below shows the most recent three months of activity for comparison purposes. Both the median price and average price showed slight slippage (right-click on the image to see the enlarged view).


Vancouver WA Real Estate Market Trends for April 2011, John Slocum Realtor Broker Agent with REMAX Vancouver WA

From this quick view we have a decrease to 7.3 months inventory, which is an important trend we want to watch in the supply of homes for sale in Vancouver WA over the next several months.

For this month the Average Sold price is $217,299 which is down from the prior month; while the Median Sales Price move down from $192,125 to $191,000.

These final charts graphically represent the home sales results for Clark County and Vancouver WA in summary form:
Home Sales Results for Clark County and Vancouver WA

The important 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 40.6% of the Pending status homes being 3rd party or Foreclosure transactions (another monthly decrease), we view this as a very positive trend -- with short-sale lenders improving their Approval Rates for short sale offers! Prices have been relatively flat, with some up and down, which is a typical and welcome sign of base-building.

Real Estate La Center WA | Market Statistics and Trends March 2011

Real Estate La Center Washington, Market Statistics
and Trends for March 2011

La Center home sales picked up the slack from February, posting strong a increase...

Earlier in April 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 March 2011. Here is what we have to report:
La Center Washington Real Estate Market Report by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Vancouver WA
From this quick view we see 6 more Pending transactions and 4 fewer Solds when compared to
February, as well as about nine month's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 34.6% of the Active homes listed (a nice drop from last month), and only represent 27.3% 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):

La Center WA Real Estate Statistics and Trends

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 high 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 as our local market heals at this stage of the Recovery.

The Chart Below compares La Center Washington Home Sale Prices
over the past 12 months:

most of this Winter quarter, with softness in March.

Real Estate Ridgefield WA | Market Statistics and Trends for March 2011

Real Estate Ridgefield WA | Market Trends and Statistics March 2011

Ridgefield WA Real Estate sales take a pause in March, with Short Sales and REO still a heavy part of the mix...

We've logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Ridgefield to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened during March 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:
Ridgefield Washington Real Estate Market Report by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Ridgefield WA
From this brief view we see that the number of Pending transactions this month decreased by over 50% when compared to last month; as well as a seven to eight (7 to 8) month's supply of inventory (based on Solds) available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 22.6% of the Active Ridgefield homes listed for sale (much lower than the County Average and a slight decrease from last month), yet they represent about 55% of the homes going under contract.

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 healthier ratios of normal sales vs. distressed property sales when compared to Clark County WA overall. We have bserved more new-home construction and sales occurring, which is another clear sign of improvement for Ridgefield.

The table below is the last 3 months of activity from the Ridgefield MLS
(right-click on the image and follow your browser's instructions to see the full-size image).

Real Estate Washougal Washington, Market Statistics and Trends for March 2011

Washougal Real Estate heated up nicely this month, with sales of non-distressed homes improving, with bank owned and short sales at about 1/3rd of the market...

Earlier in April we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Washougal to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened with Washougal WA Real Estate market trends and statistics, in Clark County Washington 98671. Here is what we have to report:
Washougal WA Real Estate Market Report, March 2011, by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Washougal WA
From this quick view we see slightly over  50% More Pending transaction compared to last month, and much less than a year's supply of inventory available at the end of the month (projected based upon Pending Sales). This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are still running at a high level, although we are starting to see within that mix a new dominance of short-sales vs. foreclosures being sold.

Real Estate Camas WA | Market Statistics and Trends March 2011

Camas Washington Real Estate - An Excellent Home Sales Month.

Camas Pending Home Sales took a jump up of over 50% from February's results, showing that home buyers this year are ready to move!

Earlier this month we've logged into the Camas MLS to identify what direction the real estate market is heading. Here are the key statistics we have to report:
Camas WA Real Estate Market Report, including Camas USA Zip Code 98607 for March 2011 by John Slocum of REMAX Vancouver WA
From this quick look at the home sales action we see 5.7% more Active listings with the mix consistently weighted relative to the distressed property category levels at just under 1/3rd of the existing inventory. However, the distressed Pending Sales finally dropped down to a similar level as the Active inventory. The number of Closed Sales moved up to 36, which is an excellent sign of a more normal market.

The table below shows the RMLS market data for the transactions within the Camas
Zip code of 98607.
Camas Real Estate Market Data March 2011

The Chart Below compares current Camas Washington Home Sale Prices and Trends with other nearby Towns: Vancouver WA, Washougal and Portland Oregon:


The current Camas Home sales prices are showing relative weakness recently when compared to the Portland / Vancouver Metro area average.  However, as purchase volumes increase, home price sales trends will increase as well.

If you are looking to purchase a home in Camas now is an opportune time! Camas is located on the north shore of the Columbia River in Washington State, and features a relatively mild climate and excellent economic base (btw - there is no personal State or Local Income Tax in Camas!).

Real Estate Battle Ground WA | Market Statistics and Trends March 2011

Battle Ground WA Real Estate Picking up the Pace in March 2011

Home Sales volume improved in Battle Ground for the past two months, with a
nice 38.5% increase for March...

Earlier this month we checked in with the Battle Ground MLS to see what happened with the real estate statistics and trends within the confines of the Battle Ground zip code 98604, for
March. Here is what we have to report when we gathered the home sales information:
Battle Ground Washington Real Estate Market Report by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Battle Ground WA
From this quick view we see an increase of 10 units for Pending Sales, and
the continuation in the heavily weighted proportion of distressed properties. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 33.0% of the Active homes listed (34.8%  last month), and they represent about 61.1% of the homes going under contract (this item has jumped
back up to levels seen two and three months ago).
 The table below is from the RMLS, showing the past 3 months of activity (you may right-click on the image and follow your browser's instructions to view the Full-Sized image)
Market Statistics and Trends for Battle Ground March 2011
The Key items we are looking for in a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions but, a decrease in the non-Pre-Foreclosure / Foreclosure Sold category. In our opinion that ratio has started to show slight improvement, and if the relative price-strength remains, there is a good environment for recovery.

The Chart Below compares Battle Ground Home Sale Prices
by AVERAGE and MEDIAN for the past 12 months:

Clearly Battle Ground home sales prices took an unsual dip in March, partly due to a large number of foreclosures in the mix this month.
