JULY 2021 MARKET UPDATE IN REAL ESTATE

03/19/2021

Top 3 things to know about the Real Estate market right now:

1) While we were hoping to finally start seeing relief from low inventory, the problem actually go worse! We only have 370 active properties on the market in all of Clark County! That's 18% less than what we had in January this year!

2) Our median list price is $440,000 - which is almost 10% higher than a year ago!

3) Rates have increased significantly over the past month to about 3.5%.

4 things to know about the Real Estate market right now!

1) We are at just over 2 weeks of inventory! A healthy and balanced market is between 3-6 months. 42% of that inventory, is new construction.

2) We have just under 4x as many pending properties as we do active! This means our demand is heavily outpacing supply, which is causing prices to increase.

3) Interest rates are between 2.5 - 3% and expected to stay in the 3% range for the remainder of 2021.

4) The National Association of Realtors forecasts that home prices will increase by 8% nationally in 2021.

COVID-19 and the Housing Market - April 13th, 2020 Update

Three things to know about the real estate market:

1) Buyer demand is still high, especially under 450K. We have a shortage of inventory for buyers to choose from. We have less inventory but more pending properties than this time last Spring.

2) Over the past week, 4% of listings had price reductions that were $5,000 or more. Only 3% of pending properties came back on market.

3) New construction represents roughly 35% of all of our inventory in Clark County, WA. With residential new construction considered non-essential under "Stay at Home" order, we may see a shift of buyer demand towards pre-existing homes due to timeline constraints.

1321 total active listings
1149 total pending properties

178 coming soon/ new active properties

- schedule Zoom / FaceTime consultations with home buyers and sellers

Simple staging like switching to neutral pillows and blankets is an inexpensive way to add appeal and value when selling your home.

One of my favorites parts of being a Realtor is helping my clients stage their homes to get the highest price and a quick sale! 🏑
