The local market remains vibrant!

Last week, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported a 1.9% month-over-month decline in sales nationwide, with the strong February perfomance still cited as a contributing factor. However, the Chelan/Douglas market continues to outperform national trends with a 26% increase in single-family home sales by unit volume and a 29.9% increase in dollar volume. This robust performance was driven by a 40% rise in financed transaction volume, including 8 sales over $1 million and 4 sales over $2 million.

The Chelan/Douglas market consistently surpasses national trends.

Furthermore, the NAR also revealed a 1.9% decrease in national year-over-year sales. Conversely, the Chelan/Douglas market presents a contrasting narrative, with year-over-year sales increasing by 39.24% in transactions and skyrocketing by 60.35% in dollar volume. Financed transactions witnessed a 46.30% uptick in transaction volume and an impressive 71.07% increase in dollar volume.
