Real Estate Market On-Fire describes Clark County WA in April 2021.
Unit Sales are coming in at a record high-level at an extremely brisk pace; with Prices continuing to Rise at an extreme rate. New Listings have risen but not enough to move Active Inventory out of its low territory. Here are the highlights for this month:

first time to finish over the $500k mark!; with the 12-month/long-term

20.57% from this time last year;
- The Inventory for Resale Property moved up slightly to 0.6 Month's worth of Supply;

territory for this measure. So far this year the County is well ahead of last years total home sales by over

Real Estate Sales - Average Sales Price Trend
April 2021Mortgage Loan Interest Rates have seemed to pause in their recent upwards
movement. However, we are hearing that Inflation is happening on a broader scale
in the Economy which we expect will cause mortgage rates to move higher.
Clark
County's
Average Home Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $506,106;
which is approximately $86,348 (+20.57%) higher than this time last year.
The final charts for this real estate sales report come from RMLS and show:

Real Estate Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - April 2021
Both New Listings and Closed Sales
moved higher; with Pending sales moving up only slightly - when this mark had
been closely tracking the New Listing measure (are we seeing some slowing???). Active Inventory at 0.6 month's of supply is
extremely low, and making for an unhealthy market.
The second graph shows the Average Price for Closed Sales
hit another New high level for the year. The Average Listing Price came in at its second highest mark.
Finally, the market pace
has become quicker, and is the fastest-pace for the year.
