On the first of September we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Washougal to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened real estate wise within the confines of Washougal, in Clark County Washington. Here is what we have to report:
From this snap-shot view we see an almost 34% increase in the number of Pending transactions compared to the number of SOLDS, as well as less than one year's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Forclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 36.5% of the Active homes listed, yet they represent about 60% of the homes going under contract.
Key items we are looking for in
a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of
transactions but, an increase in the non-PreForeclosure / Foreclosure
category. In our opinion Washougal has been one of the hardest hit
areas however, we are starting to see a leveling in that ratio overall
in Clark County.
If you are looking to sell your home in Washougal, Vancouver or another
part of Clark County Washington in this challenging market time please
call or e-mail us with the details of your situation and we'll
customize a marketing plan to get your Clark County Home Sold!
