Clark County WA Real Estate - June 2021 Report

Rocketing Real Estate Prices and Unit Sales for Clark County WA in June 2021.

Prices have risen so fast and so far that their level is over $100,000 higher than this time last year! Unit Sales now exceed last year's mark by 31%. Needless to say, Active Inventory still remains super-low while this over-heated, bubbling market moves on. Here are the highlights for this month:  

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $14k+ finishing up at $531,148; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 18.44% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 24.19% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property remained at the super-low 0.6 Month's worth of Supply;
   
• Approximately 942 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 220 more (30.5%) properties than in 2020; and 94 more than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 0 unit (0% of total); down from 3 (0.42%) in 2020; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 0 units (0% of total); down from  (0.28%) last year.

The Freddie Mac's report on the 30-year-fixed mortgage loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, remained almost unchanged ending at a monthly average of 2.98% ; compared to 3.16% for June 2020. We are hearing the Federal Reserve is still in the mode of keeping this benchmark rate low.

I have prepared a custom chart showing 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 June 2021

We see the short-term trend rising quite steeply and is very near last year's high. The long-term trend-line continues to rise at its steepest rate in decades. So far this year the County is ahead of last years total home sales by over 855 properties (+31%).

Continuing on to the Average Real Estate Sales Price, the short-term measure is still rising steeply and in record territory; with the long-term trend also powering to a new high: 

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

The persistent extremely low level of Active Inventory has extended the imbalance between Buyers and available properties to purchase, with the strong rapid rise in prices to be inevitable.
 
Clark County's Average Residential Property Sales Price (using the most recent 3 months) is now $531,148; which is approximately $103,447 (+24.19%) higher than this time last year.

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

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

Both New Listings and Closed Sales had strong gains; with Pending sales gaining a small amount. Active Inventory at 0.6 month's of supply remains near the record-low, a clear sign of an un-balanced market. 

The second graph shows both the Average Price for Closed Sales and Average Listing Price coming in at new high-marks.

Finally, both the Average Days on Market and Median Days on Market are at their low for the past 12 months.
