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.

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.

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

Clark County Real Estate Sales Inventory

• Average-Sales Price moved up by about $10k finishing up at $506,106 - the first time to finish over the $500k mark!; with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 15.45% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 20.57% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Property moved up slightly to 0.6 Month's worth of Supply;

Clark County Real Estate - Units Sold Trend April 2021

The short-term trend has set a new record for the highest "seasonal low" we've ever posted. The long-term trend-line is blasting well into new high territory for this measure. So far this year the County is well ahead of last years total home sales by over 419 properties (+25%).

This month the Average Real Estate Sales Price continues its rapid rise into ever new record territory; mirrored by the long-term the trend which also hit an all-time high: 

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

Mortgage 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.

Clark County 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.

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!

Real Estate Market Report Clark County WA - March 2020

Crashing Unit-Home Sales With a Lingering Price Rise for Clark County WA in March 2020.

We are starting to see the Pandemic/Government effects on the shutting-down / slowing-down of the economy in the statistics for the local real estate market. Both Pending and Closed sales are down; with Available Inventory moving upwards.  Here are the highlights for this month's report: 

• Average-Sales Price still has upwards inertia and climbed to $418,115 - another all-time high, with the 12-month/long-term trend line up 3.81% year-over-year;  and the 3-Month Moving Average up 8.11% from this time last year; 
   
• The Inventory for Resale Real Estate moved upwards 0.4 month's-worth, to a still 1.2 Month level of Supply;
   
• Approximately 433 Resale Properties were sold/closed, which is about 68 fewer (-13.57%) homes than in 2019; and 46 more than last month;
   
• REO/Bank Owned property sales were 3 units (0.7% of total); down from 4 (0.8%) in 2019; 
   
• Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were 2 unit (0.46% of total); no change from 2 (0.4%) in 2019.

The Home Mortgage 30-year-fixed loan interest rate (nationwide average) at month-end, went slightly lower to 3.45% (Down from 3.47% last month) according to Freddie Mac; compared to 4.27% for March 2019. With the massive federal response to the Pandemic, we don't expect the loan interest rate to rise.

Next up is my custom chart for Unit-Volume (number of properties sold) showing short term (in Red) and long term (12-month moving average in Blue) trends: 

Clark County Home Sales - Units Sold Trend March 2020

The Short Term trend last year hit the low-point in February. This month is the lowest-point for our current year; and it is possible this won't bottom-out just yet. The long-term trend also shows some downward direction when it had been going side-ways.   

The chart for Average Home Sales Price is shown next, illustrating the current and past Home-Sales-Price results for both short-term and long-term: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend March 2020

The long duration of extremely low level of Active Inventory kept strong upward pressure on Prices; and we are likely seeing inertia in the price-direction for this reporting month.  With the combination of the Pandemic and Financial markets in distress, it is very likely we'll see much softening in sales prices very soon.
 
The Average Sales Price (using 3 months) for Clark County is now $418,115; which is an increase of approximately $31,355 from this time last year.

The remaining set of graphs come from RMLS and show:

Clark County Home Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - March 2020

New Listings jumped up like we typically have seen in the past; while Pending Sales and Closed Sales both broke-rank and lagged far behind. If this divergence continues we expect the level of Active Inventory to increase rapidly and substantially. 

The second graph shows both the Closed Sales and Average Sales pricing coming in at their highest level ever, which is perhaps not surprising at the Peak of any market run-up.

Finally, Average Days on Market and Median Days on the Market have both fallen like we typically see early in the main Real Estate Selling Season. Time will tell where these two measures will settle in at.

Strong results this summer has caused the  Short-term trend line to move up higher than last year; and strong enough so that the Long Term line is clearly showing an upward turn. 

The Average Home Sales Price trend-chart, up next, shows results in both short-term and long-term: 

Clark County Home Sales - Average Sales Price Trend August 2019

If the past is any indication, at this point in the year we are at the high point; which is still showing an increase over last year but the rate of increased has slowed substantially compared to earlier in this long-term market upswing.  Mortgage loan interest rates declining combined with low Inventory, will keep pressure on sales prices.

The final charts come from RMLS and show:

Average Sales prices shown in the next chart (below) have slipped slightly below the long-term trend but, haven't gone as far as this time last year.

Average Sales prices (shown in the chart below) are continuing their ever-so-slight decline, which is a much more moderate decline that we usually see this time of year; with the long-term trend showing little hesitation on its run upwards.

Clark County Home Sales Inventory
& Days on Market - January 2018

These final three graphs from RMLS show:

Pending and New Listings have taken an unusually strong jump upwards early this year, with Closed sales obviously lagging behind. We should the Closed Sales tally to move up strongly in the immediate coming months. 

The second graph is posting the average list price at its highest level in the past 12 months; leaving little doubt as to where home sellers think prices are going.

Finally, for the Days on the Market, the Average stayed the same at 49 and Median dropped one day to 26.
