Washougal, Washington Market Report - Early 2013 Snapshot

Washougal WashingtonWashougal means "rushing water."  And the real estate market is living up to the first part of that name.  There’s been a lot of activity in the Washougal market in the past 30 days. Buyers and sellers aren’t waiting for Spring to arrive.

In early February 2013, there are 11 new listings, 29 pendings (11 of those are Short Sales), and 17 solds within a 30 day period. The median time on the market is between 97 to 192. Obviously, condition and pricing sell homes in less time.

During the same time period last year, there were 7 new active listings, 12 pendings and 6 solds reported in the RMLS. The median sales price was  $234,500. ( Note - this years clearing of distressed inventory in early 2013 has skewed the current solds pricing)

The sold prices range from a low of $71,000 ( a condo)  to a high $436,000. The median price of all sales in the last 30 days is $215.000. ( See comment above re: clearing of distressed inventory)Washougal Washington

Washougal looks like a great place to live Debb!  Wondering which snow-capped mountain peak is in the distance?  Is that Mt. Hood?  Hope your weekend is fabulous.  It's sunny here and I'm going out to play ;-)

Hey Joan - lookout ridget - aptly named eh? Mt. Hood - Columbia River views are stunning from that hill. 

Hi Erna - thanks and congrats on your milestone. 

I expect we'll see more inventory soon - but, still. It's time to buy Debbie. 

You're not the #1 agent in your market for nothing - smart lady Anita Clark.

Thanks much Adrian and back at you. ( going for a run right now lol)

Hi Mel Bell - good for you - wish I could play with you.  I'm going for a run with Mac - it's Mt. Hood. :)

Hi Debb - Like you, we're experiencing an unusually busy winter, with lots of buyers getting a jump on the usual spring rush. 2013 looks like it will be an excellent year for real estate.

Thanks Bob - I'd like some of the activity too. :)

Hi there Alexandra - believe it or not - views of Mt. Hood aren't plentiful on this side of the Columbia River.  Washougal is one of the best spots for that spectacular view. 

Dick -  good, glad to hear. I think 2013 is going to be a good year for all of us.
