Vancouver WA Resale Home Sales - Units Sold Trend June 2015

Recent National news has talked about the Real Estate Market Pending Sales cooling in June. What that headline fails to capture for Vancouver WA, is the early increased purchase/sale activity locally that has taken place so far in 2015.  

Vancouver's Resale Average Home Sales-Prices for June 2015 are still in a strong upward move, as the chart below shows.

Vancouver WA Resale Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend

111 properties (22%) were priced $200,000 or less when sold; with 147 (29%) sold that were priced $200,000 to $250,000. This rapid rise in home sales-prices has been making it more difficult for entry-level or, first-time home-buyers to make their purchase..
