Clark County Real Estate Report Q4 2016

Good Afternoon,

Over the past 33 months institutional investors have flocked our current real estate market right in Clark County making the market flourish with capital in residential and commercial real estate. The Population Boom since the Great Recession has impacted the market greatly Migration was dim throughout America, in Clark County from 2010 – 2011 only 189 people migrated. From 2014 – 2016 approximately 10,000 people migrated annually.

Today, Clark County has tremendous opportunity because of facts such as, low inventory in residential real estate, low vacancy rate, and strong migration for the foreseeable future.

The State is projecting about 8,000 people to move in Clark County this year, Clark County is the second fastest growing county in 2015 - 2016 the population spurred to 2.03 that is about 10,000 people.

Looking at the market, we have significant challenges for home buyers and great opportunities for a seller, we have a housing problem and there is no bubble, in fact, it’s the complete opposite, what we have is a panic epidemic in housing, low inventory and low vacancy rates, plus massive amounts of migration, so yes we have a stress in housing.

In terms of Development in Clark County, we are up 32% from this same time from last year at 124 Million Dollars with residential permits, we have a lot of new construction, we can not keep up with the demand, and it’s only going to continue to be this way in 2017 and most likely 2018 so being prepared is essential.  

Positioning yourself correctly in a demanding market is key, especially as an example if you need a seller to pay closing costs, understanding different loans is beneficial to the consumer, we have a lot of competition in all price categories not just the median sales price of 290K, we see multiple offers on properties and no doubt a surge in cash transactions.

Thank You for reading this report, if you know a coworker or anyone looking to buy or sell please give me a call at your convenience.  Thank You, Bret Bucher 360-600-5555

Protect Financing in Condominiumns

As many of you are aware, though purchasing a condo is similar to buying a single family residence, mortgages are more difficult to obtain for condominiums. Lenders impose different regulations and consider them higher risk, having to verify the fiscal and physical fitness of the project, resulting in higher interest rates. Below are a couple of guidelines that we touched upon in yesterday’s Tuesday meeting concerning respective programs and approved Condominium Project.

Conventional Warrantability:

No more than 10% units owned by one entity.

No more than 25% of square footage can be non-residential/commercial

Generally no less than 50% of units are used for investment purposes.

Check Fannie Mae approved Condo projects for Washington State here.

FHA Condo Approval:

No more than 50% units owned by one entity or used for investment purposes.

No more than 50% of square footage can be non-residential/commercial

Check a condo project’s FHA Approval here.

VA Condo approvals are subject to Veteran’s Affairs approval. Generally if a project is FHA approved, VA will also authorize lending there. This process can be several months in length. Contact one of us to see if a Condo Project is VA approved.

Non-Warrantable or FHA/VA Non-approved Condo projects may also be financed. At American Pacific Mortgage we have options for these types of condo projects as well. We have experience with Jumbo condo financing and financing for projects under litigation. Give one of us a call.

Thinking about buying call me as I am an owner and understand the property and the status, if you are thinking about selling your unit, please consider me as I know a lot about condominiumns and Waters Edge.

Other justifyable comparabe sold condominiums in Salmon Creek, point being said, in my opinion we need to protect our property values - get your property valued correctly to increase value accordingly to the market, as you can see with these comps in a 1.5 mile proximity to the subject property at 13216 NE Salmon Creek Ave; furthermore Waters Edge does have garages, adding more value.

In Salmon Creek, a 2 mile radious search with sold condominiums the average price is $148,875, the average sq. ft. is 964, and averaging 13 days on the market. It's very important to have the correct price as we also have new siding, new roofs, new windows, new gutters, new railings - a multi million dollar project which does in deed increase the value quite significantly. Price your property correctly so the values reach the maximum dollar amount.

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
