Rapid Price Rise Continues with an Up-tick in Unit Sales for Vancouver WA Condos in January 2020.
We enter the new year with increased interest in Condos across almost all price tiers, although we are still plagued by abnormally low Available Inventory. Rapidly rising prices is a natural result. Here are the highlights for this month:
- The Short term Condo Sales Price (3-Month Moving Average) continued its strong upward move this month by almost $6,000; which is +10.34% compared to the prior January; with the 12-Month Moving Average in negative territory at -0.36% compared to the prior year;
- 49 Resale Condominiums were sold, which is up 7 units compared to January 2019, and 14 more than last month;
- REO/Bank Owned Condominium sales are still at 0 units (0% of total); no change from 0 (0% of total) in January 2019.
- Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosure property sales were also at 0 units (0% of total); down from 1 (2.4% of total) in 2019.
The custom charts below have been created to show the Unit-volume trends - both short-term and long-term:

The short-term line this month has arrested the Fall-Winter decline by going sideways. There may be a good chance this will rise next month with strong Pending sales posted this month.

Although the slope (rate of change) in the price increase has lessened this month, it is still quite strong especially for this time of year.
These final charts show Unit Sales, Average & Median Prices; and Days on Market results (from RMLS chart-tools):
Vancouver Condo Sales Inventory & Days on Market Trends
Inventory-by-Month shows all components; New Listings, Pending Sales and Closed Sales rising nicely; although Active Inventory slipped 0.1 Month.
The Price graph shows New Listings Average Price coming in at one of the higher levels for the past 12 months; and Closed Sales came in slightly below the level seen the past two months.
The Average Days on the Market vaulted to over 60 days (once considered a normal interval in the "normal" years) as "older" listings have finally sold; with Median Days on Market falling by about a week . We'll likely see the Average DOM fall lower in the upcoming months.
