Clark County Home Sales Rally of 2011 Continues with a Relatively Strong Showing in September Since the beginning of 2011, Real Estate and Home Sales volume in Vancouver WA and Clark County have shown steady improvement, either on a month-over-month basis; or, when compared to the results of 2010. However, sales prices have taken a while to respond but, have finally done so in a positive manner. One very important consideration we must take care of early is the impact the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit had on the sales volume and prices during 2010, and perhaps into 2011.
