Luxury Home Market Report in Vancouver Washington for Nine Month's ending September 2009

Early this month we logged into the MLS for Luxury Homes for sale Vancouver WA and  to obtain an  update of what happened to this price tier within the confines of Vancouver, in Clark County Washington.  For this report we consider a Luxury Home to be priced and sold over $800,000.  Here is what we have to report:

Vancouver WA Condo Real Estate Market Report by REMAX John Slocum

We have found this to be a challenging price category to provide a statistical report on.  In general it is clear that there have been few transactions for Vancouver homes priced above $800,000.  We have also seen several homes that have at least a Tax Assessed value above this price but owing to being a Vancouver WA Short Sale Luxury Home, the result is tallied in the lower-priced Executive Home Category.

In our opinion, owing to the general economic climate, luxury homes for sale in Vancouver Washington have had a tremendous downward adjustment in value, and at this point in time there are some excellent buys available!

John - This is great insight on your local market !  It certainly does seem with so few transaction and with the inventory, prices have to adjust down which could be quite beneficial for those buyers waiting on the sidelines !
