The December 2022 Real Estate Sales Action Still Suggest a Seller's Market in Vancouver Washington!
The Snapshot graphic below is provided by RMLS to show us many of the key home sales metrics for Vancouver, Clark County and Southwest Washington:
Even though the real estate market is "slower" than it was in early 2022; these statistics for one of the slowest months of the year show rather strong activity.
For example, a total market time of 52 days is relatively brisk (it is several days lower than December 2019) for this time of year. We also see Pending Sales exceeding New Listings; which tells us the Available Inventory is declining!
Also, the statistic shown at 1.9 months includes New Construction. When looking at only Pre-Owned Inventory, the number shrinks to 0.8 months worth!!! This low level is usually one of the key indicators of a Seller's Market.
As for the direction of Prices - yes, we are seeing Sales Prices declining moderately. However, Prices for New Listings are coming in higher as Sellers realize the Active Inventory is still extremely Low.
