Battle Ground WA Real Estate Keeping Up The Momentum in February 2011

Home Sale prices in Battle Ground have remained remarkably stable through the past 12 months, perhaps making this area of Clark County one of the Belle-weather recovery zones...

Earlier this month we checked in with the Battle Ground MLS to see what happened with the real estate statistics and trends within the confines of the Battle Ground zip code 98604, for February. Here is what we have to report when we gathered the home sales information:

From this quick view we see a slight drop of 3 units for Pending Sales, and the continuation in the proportion of distressed properties. This month the 3rd Party + Pre-Foreclosures + Foreclosures combined are about 34.3% of the Active homes listed (32.8% last month), and they represent about 38.5% of the homes going under contract (this item has dropped down from 54.5% from two months ago).

Market Statistics and Trends for Battle Ground February 2011

The Key items we are looking for in a market turnaround are not just an increase in the number of transactions but, a decrease in the non-Pre-Foreclosure / Foreclosure Sold category. In our opinion that ratio has started to show slight improvement, and if the relative price-strength remains, there is a good environment for recovery.
