The short-term line is showing the down-trend in closed sales; and appears to have peaked for the season (this can turn-around, however!). The long-term trend line is also showing a stronger-than-typical downward move.
Next up is my Average Closed Sales Price chart showing how high and quickly prices have risen for this market.
Camas Resale Property Sales - Average Sales Price Trend August 2021 Recently when it appeared the price rise had stopped, and perhaps peaked for the season; the strong demand combined with the capability to close the transactions at these higher prices - has pushed prices to a much higher level.

Finally, the Average Days on Market jumped up 12 days - to 21 days total which may indicate slowing in this market. Median Days on Market rose by 1 day up to 5 days - which is the 9th month in a row where this element was no more than 4 or 5 days.
