Clark County’s real
estate is a very tight market. The positive is the inventory is correcting and
the distressed homes are slowly but surely going away we’re seeing more home
owners entering the market and as you read this report notice the good
results. Today is a great time to buy
because 2015 home prices are most likely going to rise locally like they have
this year but the difference is the interest rates possibly going to rise in 2015, which
increases the payment.
Clark County currently no doubt is seeing
development but keep in mind that is privately financed and the spec homes from
builders we used to see does not exist or there is very few most likely you have
a model home to look at and then you have the home built by the home builder meeting the demands of what a buyer may want. The
market is different you have to have a plan when you sell your home today. You will see today property development occurring
as we saw 446 lots preliminary approved 4th Quarter 2013. Notice zero lots preliminary approved with
this report, which could impact the amount of new homes on the market in the foreseeable
future. The inventory is low and the market is headed towards a normal market
as home prices rise and inventory increases.
One more item is multifamily, currently the Portland Oregon market is 5 years behind and I saw 8 construction cranes as I drove around the freeways in Portland yesterday, a sign of the times and this is good news as we saw the market drop in 2009 -- We are talking multi-million dollar big time real estate construction projects. Incredibly low vacancy rate. The rental market is white hot -- Investment opportunities are present and if you purchased in the distressed market you did exceptional. We are seeing some signs of a changing market in a positive direction that will directly impact the economy here locally.
