Real Estate Washougal Washington,  Market Update September 2010

A few days ago we logged into the MLS for Vancouver and Washougal to obtain a quick snap-shot view of what happened with Washougal WA Real Estate, in Clark County Washington 98671. Here is what we have to report:

Washougal WA Real Estate Market Report, September 2010, by John Slocum & Kathryn Alexander REMAX Washougal WA

From this quick view we see 6 Fewer Pending transaction compared to last month, and approximately one year's supply of inventory available at the end of the month. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 32.1% of the Active homes listed which is a substantial improvement over the same ratio earlier this year; yet they represent about 47.4% of the homes going under contract.

As a community in Clark County, Washougal's real estate was hit harder with more of their newer subdivisions un-sold or sold with sub-prime loans towards the end of the last building boom.  What we have been observing is been a reasonably strong absorption of those properties, and a good base-building phase of this recovery.
