Clark County WA Real Estate For Sale - August 2021 Report

A Slight Slowing Seen in the Real Estate Price Rise; with Unit Sales remaining Strong for Clark County WA in August 2021.

This month we finally see slowing in the rising prices for the County - although the resultant level is still 20%+ higher than last year. We've also seen the typical slowing in the number of units-sold but again, the number is 100 units higher than the same month last year. Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $7k+ finishing up at $550,668; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 19.009% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 20.6% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property is still below one-month's worth, at the super-low 0.7 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 768 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 100 more (14.75%) properties than in 2020; and 71 fewer than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 3 units (0.39% of total); no change from 3 (0.449%) in 2020; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); no change from 0 (0%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, moved down slightly ending at a monthly average of 2.84% ; compared to 2.94% for August 2020. The Federal Reserve is still in the mode of keeping this benchmark rate low, and pumping funds into the markets.

Custom Charts (below)I have prepared show Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend August 2021

The short-term trend is now rising less steeply and may be near this year's high. The long-term trend-line is showing a slowing phase also. So far this year the County is ahead of last years total home sales by over 1,051 properties (+25%).

Next up are my charts showing the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term measure hitting another record; with the long-term trend also at a new high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend August 2021

With such a large increase in properties purchased so far this year, it is perhaps little wonder that the available Active Inventory at any one time is very slim. Once again we have finished the month with less than one month's worth of available supply.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $550,668; which is approximately $94,062 (+20.60%) higher than this time last year.

These remaining charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - August 2021

Both New Listings and Closed Sales eased this month; with Pending sales gaining slightly. Active Inventory at 0.7 month's of supply remains stubbornly below one-month's worth of supply. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales a few hundred dollars below its high; and the Average Listing Price coming in a few thousand dollars below its recent high.

Finally, the Average Days on Market increased by just 2 days; and Median Days on Market remained at 5 days. This is the 7th month in a row that the Median has been at 5 or fewer days.

At present prices are almost $105k higher than a year ago!  Unit Sales have remained strong, although in other parts of the country sales may be slowing. So far almost 27% more homes have sold year-to-date. New Listings came in stronger this month too however, we are still below One-Month's worth of Supply. Here are this month's key points:  

• Average-Sales Price rose by just under $13k finishing up at $543,945; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 19.78% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 23.87% from last year;

The Nation-wide average Home Loan Mortgage 30-year-fixed loan interest rate at month-end, fell again slightly to 2.87% according to Freddie Mac; compared to 3.02% for July 2020. We are hearing that the Fed's "Tapering" has been put off again, perhaps into next year, which should mean this benchmark rate will likely remain below 3.0% for a while longer.

Next we have my custom chart for Home-Sales Unit-Volume (number of homes sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend July 2021

We are still in the "blow up" phase of this bubble, as visible by the steep and high rise of the trend(s).  With the County's population just recently crossing over the 500k mark, it is perhaps no wonder that the unit-sales are in their highest-ever territory. Year-to-date we are now ahead of last years total home sales by 940 homes (or, 26.9%).

This next chart shows the trend for the Average Home Sales Prices. Both the short-term line and the long-term trend are in their steepest ever (at least for this multi-year cycle) upward move: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend July 2021

We still see the rate of increase for home sales prices exceeding 20% annually. Inflation is also widely reported in other parts of the Economy thus, overall "Affordability" has been taking an ever increasing Hit.

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend May 2021

This chart is clearly showing we are in a historic "blow-up" market, when the short-term trend would typically be crossing and be above the long-tern trend; however, this year the long-term trend has been rising so quickly the short-term trend has not yet "caught" it!!! Clearly both trends we are now selling more homes than at any previous time in history. Overall the County is now ahead of last years total home sales by 634 homes (or, 29.92%).

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend March 2021

With the rapid pace of Sales, the rise in Pending Sales is very closely matching the rise in New Listings! Closed Sales have also posted a strong, higher mark this month. Inventory at 0.4 month's of supply is making it tough for Home Buyers, to be sure. 

The second graph shows Prices for Closed Sales at another new-high; and Average Listing Price at its third-highest mark.

Finally, the Average Days on Market fell by 2 days to 23 days - which is the lowest mark in the past 12 months. Median Days on the Market rose remained at the 12-month low of four days. Both of these are at an extremely low level (hyper-fast market) for this or any other time of year.

Clark County WA Real Estate - February 2021 Report

Robust Real Estate Property-Sales Continue while Sales Prices Resume their Upward Move for Clark County WA in February 2021.

Property sales have been quite brisk for this late-winter month; with sales prices - after a few months of side-ways movement - are rising once again, as the level of active Inventory remains super low! Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $14k finishing up at $484,988; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 13.72% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 17.59% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property moved up slightly to 0.4 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 434 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 43 more (11%) properties than in 2020; and 3 more than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 2 units (0.46% of total); down from 4 (1.02%) in 2020; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from 2 (0.51%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, rose again slightly to a monthly average of 2.81% ; compared to 3.47% for February 2020. The current trend is seeing this rate in a rising pattern now for the near term.

Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends are shown in my custom chart: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend February 2021

With unseasonably strong buyer-demand we see the short-term line is at a much higher level than a year ago, although near-term it is declining. Long-term the trend-line continues near its all-time high. So far this year the County is well ahead of last years total home sales by over 100 properties.

This month the Average Real Estate Sales Price broke out of its holding pattern and moved up to a new all-time high. The long-term the trend is still very positive and also hit an all-time high: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend February 2021

Mortgage Loan Interest Rates have been edging upwards, although for this month the average remained below 3.0% (as of this writing we are now sneaking above 3.0%). With Inflation becoming more of a concern, the rates for Mortgages and Bonds will see a higher-trending rate.
 
Clark County's Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $484,988; which is approximately $72,544 (+17.59%) higher than this time last year.

The final charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - February 2021

Both New Listings and Pending Sales drifted lower; likely because this month is shorter than the others. Closed Sales still came in a few units higher than last month. Active Inventory at 0.4 month's of supply is super-low, which of course is challenging for home buyers to find the property they want before a competing buyer snaps it up. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales at its New highest level for the year. The Average Listing Price came in higher than the closed-sales price, and at its second highest mark.

Finally, the market pace became the fastest for the year; with the Average Days on Market matching one previous month; while the Median Days on the Market fell to the lowest at 4 days - and this is supposed to be a slow-to-medium-paced month!

Homes For Sale in Clark County WA - January 2021 Report

Last Year's Surge Continues with Unit Home-Sales Very Strong; While Sales Prices Remain High for Clark County WA in January 2021.

New Listings Perked up Strongly although Active Inventory continues to Shrink. Super-low Interest rates for home financing; combined with strong buyer demand is keeping our market hopping! Here are this month's key points:  

• Average-Sales Price rose slightly by about $2.5k finishing up at $470,781; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 13.17% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 15.04% from last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Homes was cut in half ending at 0.3 Month's worth of Supply;

The Nation-wide average Home Loan Mortgage 30-year-fixed loan interest rate at month-end, rose slightly to 2.74% according to Freddie Mac; compared to 3.62% for January 2020. The Federal Reserve and Bond Market are keeping pressure on these rates to remain in this very low range in the near term.

Next up is a custom chart I have created showing Home-Sales Unit-Volume (number of homes sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend January 2021

Although the near-term trend is declining, it is piercing a much higher long-term (and still rising) trend-line. Long-term the trend is expected to rise into record-high territory for at least the near term. Overall the County is now ahead of last years total home sales by 54 homes (or, 14.59%).

The next custom chart shows the Average Home Sales Prices, where the short-term line is in a "holding-pattern;" with the long-term trend continuing its move in a positive direction: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend January 2021

The current strong rise in prices is the "steepest" stretch we've seen since the overall home sales market turned the corner in January 2012. With Active Inventory for resale homes it such an incredibly low level, it seems we should expect prices to continue rising strongly at least in the near term.
 
Clark County's Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $470,781; which is approximately $61,552 (+15.04%) higher than this time last year.

These final charts for our home sales report come from RMLS showing:

Clark County Home Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - January 2021

New Listings and Pending Sales both moved up reasonably strongly. Closed Sales likewise are up relative to previous seasons tallies for this time of the year. Inventory at 0.3 month's of supply is clear we this is an extremely strong Seller's Market! 

The second graph shows Prices for Closed Sales at a clear all-time high; and Average Listing Price sky-rocketing to an all-time high.

Finally, the Average Days on Market rose by about only 4 days; while the Median Days on the Market rose only two day's worth. Both of these are in a very low level (fast market) for this time of year.

Real Estate for sale Clark County WA - December 2020

Unseasonably-Strong Real Estate Property-Sales While Sales Prices End the Year-2020 at Near Record for Clark County WA in December 2020.

The Pace of Property sales was one of the fastest this past 12 months; while the extremely low level of active Inventory contracted again! Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price eased by about $8k finishing up at $468,757; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 12.27% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 14.34% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property fell again and finished at 0.5 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 600 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 145 more (31.9%) properties than in 2019; although 66 fewer than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 4 units (0.67% of total); up from 2 (0.44%) in 2019; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 1 units (0.17% of total); down from 2 (0.44%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, fell again to a monthly average of 2.68% (another All-Time Low!); compared to 3.72% for December 2019. The Annual 2020 Average came in at 3.11% - compared to 2019's number of 3.94%!

For the Property-Sales Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) with short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends I've prepared this chart: 

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend December 2020

With continued strong late-season property sales the short-term line is at a much higher level, though declining, than we typically see at the end of the year. Long-term the trend-line continues moving up nearing its all-time high. Finishing the year the County is now ahead of last years total home sales by 271 homes (or, 4.03%).

This month the Average Real Estate Sales Price tread-water (less than $300 difference from last month) in the near-term; while long-term the trend is still very positive: 

Clark County Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend December 2020

This year real estate prices have risen farther than they have at any time since the market "bottom" at January 2012." In fact, even with the super-low financing rates the Impact to Affordability will be very hard to ignore in the present and coming months to come.
 
Clark County's Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $468,757; which is approximately $58,799 (+14.34%) higher than this time last year.

My final charts for our real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - December 2020

New Listings dropped to post its lowest mark for the past 12 months. Pending Sales also came in lower to its second-lowest mark for the year. Closed Sales eased but stayed at a relatively high level. Active Inventory at 0.5 month's of supply is extremely low, making it tough on home shoppers that once had an easier time at the end of the year. 

The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales at its second-highest level for the year; and Average Listing Price came in lower than the closed-sales price.

Finally, the market pace was about the fastest for the year; with the Average Days on Market falling by 6 days; while the Median Days on the Market fell one day. This rapid-paced market is unprecedented in my experience.
