Q2 Real Estate Report - Clark County WA
Wednesday, August 10, 2016
Clark County Real Estate Report - June Q2 2016
We still have a robust real estate market, the question remains for many local Realtors and Brokers how much longer is this market going to last? Great question, so lets look directly at the science and the activity and wow the data I am getting is fascinating. Indicating we have at least another year with this low inventory and a high volume of buyers.
Right off the bat, the population-boom has been fueling the market for 3.5 years, no doubt the element behind the market, and why is that? Well, the Portland Metro area job growth is ahead of the National average, and is one of the top Five economies.
Now, what is very interesting is new construction permits is up 24% at 145 million dollars from this very same time from last year, and last year same period it was at 134 Million up 49% so this all signals a very thriving market with no real indication of when it slows down or transitions into a "normal" market, these numbers indicate that it is absolutely impossible to meet the consumer demand. Great news for a seller, but a challenge for a home buyer.
One more important point here, notice the upper-properties and the days on market and how many are selling in 30 days, this indicates a very strong market all throughout the price categories in Clark County, not just at the median homes price which is $277,000.
At Watersedge, this means the condominiumns are possibly going to be up 13-16% by the end of 2017.
Thank You for reading this outstanding report. Please help me expand my business if you know a co-worker or a family member or a friend looking to buy or sell, please call me at your best convenience 360-600-5555

Sign of [Changing] Times
I predict real estate values with the completed project at Waters Edge:
One Bedroom Flats updated at $140,000.00
Two Bedroom Flats updated $160,000.00
Town Homes updated $190,000.000
One level Units updated $190,000.00
Clark County home prices up by 11 percent for 2016.
Clark County homes prices up 9 percent 2017.
Be aware to not under-price your investment most agents are not aware Waters Edge is not distressed they are pulling past comps in the neighborhood that is not how this should be evaluated. This is a major construction project total rehabilitation to the exterior adding significant value and Obviously Waters Edge is in Salmon Creek so the comparable properties should be in all of Salmon Creek. This is a Multi-Million Dollar project so again obviously that adds incredible value.
Thanks for the great leadership skills and devotion by the Waters Edge Board of Directors.
Protect your Real Estate do you realize how important your property is today! Your no longer a distressed property, your King now or even Queen, you have it all now, a large property, you have beyond imagination, you have a great place! Be pleased. Be advised it is going to get expensive here locally with housing. Vancouver WA is Number Place for Migration in America!
White Hot Market -- "We have never seen this market."
Meanwhile in Vancouver!
[A]ND in 16 months possibly by the year 2018:
One Bedroom Flats updated at $168,000.00
Two Bedroom Flats updated $192,000.00
Town Homes updated $228,000.00
One level Units updated $228,000.00
Hard to digest but this is possible!
Now lets look at vacancy rates and rent prices as an average in Vancouver WA:
1bd/1bth 2bd/1bth 2 bd/2bth 3bd/2bth
$926 ($1.30) $1,013 ($1.10) $1,184 ($1.10) $1,313 ($1.06)
1.87% is the vacancy rate in Vancouver possibly one of the lowest if not number one in America. Since 2012 the rent has gone up 35 percent in Vancouver WA.

When they say Oregon that means Portland as Portland is over 55 percent of the State's population.
For 3.5 secutive years Portland has been number one for migration, so this also is Clark County because we have had 10,000 people move here from 2014 -2015 and most likely the year 2015. And we can not keep up with the demand as we have 107 million dollars under construction that is residential, it is impossible to keep up with the demand because it takes years to build a subdivision or an apartment. Cash transaction are easily 1/3 of all sales in Clark County!

1Q Residential Real Estate Report Clark County WA
Waters Edge is no longer a distressed property as the renovation project appears to be 75% complete meaning the property is at overall real estate values in the entirety of Salmon Creek. The project will be complete by August 2016 with landscaping. Below is an amazing detailed Clark County Market Report:
The local market is white hot in Clark County and Vancouver Washington, and we are talking extremely aggressive market conditions on all aspects inside the industry. First if you are a buyer being aware and educated with the market is essential when searching for a home. Another key is positioning in the market with financing having the right loan is so important and a great lender for a successful closing.
To explain the scene, as an example at $235,000, I showed a client a house and from 4:30 to 6:30 there was 15 showings in 2 hours, and Realtors in a line waiting to show the house to clients.
So what is going on? That is a great question, so lets understand how critical this is, first of all, supply and demand motivate the market, we have no supply, the inventory is low because of a population boom, approximately 10,000 people moved here just from 2014 - 2015, and most likely 2015 had simular results. Historically when the housing crisis began in 2008 the home building industry stopped building, but migration patterns did not and by 2013 we simply ran out of houses and apartment rentals, as the Clark County has the lowest vacancy rate in the Nation or in the top.
Comparing this same period to 2015, stronger market conitions, in fact "history is in the making" here locally, I do not think Clark County has ever had these market conditions. 2006 was a different market, why? Because there was affordable housing, not the case anymore as the median sales price is $270,000 up 9.3% from last March. There is no brand new entry level homes.
Lets look at residential new construction, now this is important to understand, new construction up 23% from this time last year, and take a look at the low inventory this means it is impossible to meet the market conditions, that is a key ingredient to this market, and indicating the migration is strong.

Clark County and Vancouver Washington Real Estate Report Fourth Quarter 2015
Is Waters Edge a good investment? Yes, in one of nicest areas in the county and way below the market, and once the siding is replaced, we are going to see some incredible recovery and the renovation could not happen at such perfect timing, wow! The Lowest Vacancy Rate in the Portland Metro Area is West Vancouver at 1.5% possibly one of the lowest in the Nation, Just look at the local Clark County Market below:
2016 is going to be another active busy thriving real estate market. You can expect your home to be up 9% by the end of this year we are in the same market as 2015. What is the motivation with these market trends? No doubt, Population increase as our local market is possibly 5 years behind in housing and you can see it right in plain sight, if you are in the market looking for a home you can feel the pressure because the inventory is low and we are selling houses quickly. If you are a home owner thinking about selling making sound decisions is critical, you have to have a plan and a back-up plan especially if you are selling and then buying in Clark County. Where are the buyers coming from? They’re moving mostly from the Portland Metro Area, as Oregon is and has been the number one State for migration for 3 consecutive years, and when you look at that State population more than 50% live in the city of Portland so they see the nice neighborhoods and excellent schools, reasonable taxes, and no income tax in Washington State.
One way to eliminate the competition as a buyer is to have a home built there are options available for you, we can have a Pre-Sale where it is just like any sale you deposit an earnest money and the builder finances construction figure 5 months to move in, I have many satisfied clients that have gone that route and in this market the day you get the key you have instant equity. Another option is to have a custom home built, design-to-build.
We are watching and seeing Clark County really take off new construction is up 22% with all kinds of development and Clark County has the lowest vacancy rate in the whole Portland Metro Area, as an example West Vancouver has a rate of 1.5% so yes investors are looking at the prime real estate. Really low vacancy possibly one of the lowest in the Nation in Clark County.
The "Hottest Real Estate Market" is Seattle in the Nation and Portland is possibly number 2 so it is Busy, and when it is this busy you really want to have a great plan, I cannot stress that anymore.
Another indication of an improving market, we are seeing the upper-end properties sell meaning things are changing for the better as more capital exchanges in our local real estate market. Home builders cannot keep up with this demanding market even as we see the lots being developed.
Let’s take a look at the awesome results for 2015. If you know anyone looking to buy or sell please help me expand my business, give me a call anytime 360-600-5555.
