Clark County, Washington Market Action Addition

March 2018

The Clark County, Washington real estate marketplace has some unique characteristics. There is a much higher proportion of active residential listings in Clark County that are Proposed, defined as "not yet under construction", than exists in any other RMLS™ area. This means that there are fewer homes listed as Active that are ready to move into in an immediate timeframe. The Clark County Association of Realtors®, an RMLS™ shareholder, has asked us to produce some additional statistics each month to delve more deeply into the inventory counts in Clark County. The following summary shows the number of homes available for immediate purchase and occupancy.

Total Active Listings* Reported in Market Action: Less Listings with Purchase Contingencies*: Readily Purchased Listings: Percent of Total Active Listings: Less New Under Construction (not ready for occupancy): Less New Proposed (not started): Total Readily Purchased & Occupied Listing: Percent of Total Active Listings:

Inventory in Months of Readily Purchased & Occupied Listings:

1,048 36 1,012 96.6% 97 103 812 77.5%

1.2

* Active Listings reported in Market Action include three statuses (ACT, BMP, SSP). Two of these statuses are defined as listings with accepted offers that are still marketed as active listings due to the type of offer on the property. These are Bumpable Buyer, which is an offer that is contingent on the sale of the buyer's current home, and Short Sale Pending, where an offer has been accepted by the seller but the required third party approvals have not been obtained.

Percent change in number of pending sales this year compared to last year. The Current Month section compares March 2018 with March 2017. The Year-To-Date section compares 2018 year-to-date statistics through March with 2017 year-to-date statistics through March.

2

% Change is based on a comparison of the rolling average sale price for the last 12 months (4/1/17-3/31/18) with 12 months before (4/1/16-3/31/17).

3

Total Market Time is the number of days from when a property is listed to when an offer is accepted on that same property. If a property is re-listed within 31 days, Total Market Time continues to accrue; however, it does not include the time that it was off the market.
