Clark County Real Estate Report July 2018 Quarter 2





The Clark county residential real estate market continues to thrust into price categories never seen before with days on the market and incredible strong sales results as our local market is robust and it’s not slowing down, however we are seeing a shift in price categories with older homes verses New Construction that Dominates Clark County, you need to be aware of this.

First and foremost l Million to 2 Million properties are averaging 29 days on the market, we have not seen this low amount of Days-On-Market with properties at that price point - never once in the history of Clark County have we seen these results.

Clark County has a vast history for sprawling growth with residential new construction and currently the Country is not reporting for 2018 on Development so I can only go off Quarter 4, 2017.
The market has changed and so has the consumer a “major” key point is to understand that the median home sales price has climbed so how it exceeds the average local consumer as we have people migrating to Clark County with excellent jobs, many are millennials a younger generation inside the Tech Industry as Oregon State ranks number 5 in America as I just spoke in a Tech consultant based out of Florida last Friday a whole group that traveled and went to Intel and I let him know about Clark County for Jobs.

We are headed into some very steep home prices as the Portland Metropolitan area has huge gigantic Grade A Development as there are 45 Industrial Cranes building Portland Oregon and this is big time private money. Now check out what really is going on in Clark County and this is real, Grade A Projects in Portland and we are talking massive infrastructure what do you think happens?

To answer the Question: they see an Incredible Change as they look across the River they eventually see Clark County places like Camas or Ridgefield or they see the quality of our neighborhoods, or our great schools, and we have no income tax.

What is the motivation with rising home prices? The motivation is migration as Clark County is the number 2 to King County or Seattle with migration with an incredible Net Migration.

I was just with the Largest Commercial Real Estate Company the other day at Edgefield with huge Mortgage Brokers and they agreed with me the Grade A Market is declining in High Rise Condos in the Pearl District (Portland, Oregon) -- Guess What Folks they get it and they are transferring and relocating to Prime Neighborhoods in Clark County.
