Clark County and Vancouver Real Estate Report September Q3


T
he Clark County Real Estate Market is strong and steady despite we are seeing the market transition in a direction of a normal market. First of all, the total market time is 41 days that is a strong number and the reason why is because the affluent homes are selling quickly which impacts the DOM days on market, in September of 2016 DOM was 42, indicating we are still in a hot market. On March 15th, 2017 from $304,000 -$379,000 there was 123 sales, today there was 206 sales and the median home price is up 9.2% very consistent to and the average sales price again is consistent at 9.7%.

Misinformation is on the rise in our local market we are not in a buyers’ market that is a myth and the reason why is we have 2.9 inventory, yes we have seen a rise with inventory in September of 2016 the inventory was 2.1, today 2.9 months to sell our current inventory, that is an incredible low number of inventory.

The motivation that has fueled our market in five years is Net Migration - which has slowed down slightly the State has estimated that figure down by 1,500 as we saw about 10,000 a year migrate since 2013 now it's 8,500.

New Construction has a huge amount of Residential permits at 123 Million Dollars up to Q3 which means a homeowner has been and currently is competing with Brand New Homes and a lot of them. Another key point is lot and land division is down 81% which could indicate less inventory in the near future.

The average married-couple earned $95,282 the most ever up 8% indicating the market is going to remain strong our local economy is great. Other residential indicators are 2.1% low vacancy rate and high rents for tenants in an apartment.

Clark County Real Estate Report June 2018 Q2





The Clark county residential real estate market continues to thrust into price categories never seen before with days on the market and incredible strong sales results as our local market is robust and it’s not slowing down, however we are seeing a shift in price categories with older homes verses New Construction that Dominates Clark County, you need to be aware of this.

First and foremost l Million to 2 Million properties are averaging 29 days on the market, we have not seen this low amount of Days-On-Market with properties at that price point - never once in the history of Clark County have we seen these results.

Clark County has a vast history for sprawling growth with residential new construction and currently the Country is not reporting for 2018 on Development so I can only go off Quarter 4, 2017.
The market has changed and so has the consumer a “major” key point is to understand that the median home sales price has climbed so how it exceeds the average local consumer as we have people migrating to Clark County with excellent jobs, many are millennials a younger generation inside the Tech Industry as Oregon State ranks number 5 in America as I just spoke in a Tech consultant based out of Florida last Friday a whole group that traveled and went to Intel and I let him know about Clark County for Jobs.

We are headed into some very steep home prices as the Portland Metropolitan area has huge gigantic Grade A Development as there are 45 Industrial Cranes building Portland Oregon and this is big time private money. Now check out what really is going on in Clark County and this is real, Grade A Projects in Portland and we are talking massive infrastructure what do you think happens?

To answer the Question: they see an Incredible Change as they look across the River they eventually see Clark County places like Camas or Ridgefield or they see the quality of our neighborhoods, or our great schools, and we have no income tax.

What is the motivation with rising home prices? The motivation is migration as Clark County is the number 2 to King County or Seattle with migration with an incredible Net Migration.

I was just with the Largest Commercial Real Estate Company the other day at Edgefield with huge Mortgage Brokers and they agreed with me the Grade A Market is declining in High Rise Condos in the Pearl District (Portland, Oregon) -- Guess What Folks they get it and they are transferring and relocating to Prime Neighborhoods in Clark County.

To position yourself in this Real Estate Market you have a platform and to make your very own calculations and to make the most incredible decisions which involves moving from point A to B.
