98685 Homes For Sale - January 2017 Report

Vancouver WA Home Sales in 98685 Slow with the Wintry January 2017 Weather!

 2017's Winter Weather has delivered some Epic Snow and Rainstorms, and to be sure has had some effect on the activity of both Buyers and Sellers in the 98685 Zip Code.  Here are this month's highlights from RMLS:

• 18 Units Closed, with 32 Units going Pending;
     
• The Average Sales Price was $333,195; with the Average New Listing's price at $372,000.
   
• Cumulative Days On Market (CDOM) Averaged 54 Days - relatively brisk sales for a Winter Month.
  
• The Level of Inventory is at 1.4 Months, which is slightly better than Vancouver's 0.8 Months - very much a Severe Seller's Market!

Moving into the traditionally stronger months for real estate activity, we are expecting 2017 to start out as brisk of a pace as in 2016, with strong upward pressure on prices.  With the level of inventory so low, there are just too many buyers for the number of Active listings..

A chart of Unit Sales, Average & Median Prices; and Days on Market information are shown below (from RMLS chart-tools):

Vancouver 98685 Sales Inventory & Days on Market Trends

The Inventory-by-Month chart is showing the low level of activity we see in the Winter Season for Closed Sales and New Listings.

The second graph shows the higher list-prices that are a logical outcome with such a low level of inventory.

Average Days on Market and Median Days on market measurements are higher in Winter but, when both are less than 60 days that is a clear sign of a hot market!
