Clark County’s fall slowdown is showing up where it matters most: pending sales have slipped for three straight weeks, from roughly 734 in late September to 675 for October 9–15. At the same time, the homes that did sell went under contract faster, and weekly sale prices came in lower. Here’s what the latest RMLS numbers say.
Pending sales: a steady cool-down
Pending sales count homes that went under contract, so they’re the best early signal of where closings are headed. Over four weeks, Clark County’s pending count has eased about 8%.
This is a gradual seasonal slowdown, not a sharp drop. Expect closed sales to stay modest through November as this smaller pipeline works its way to the closing table.
| Measure | This week | Change vs. prior week |
|---|---|---|
| New listings | 95 | +3.3% |
| Pending sales | 675 | −3.3% |
| Closed sales | 57 | −12.3% |
| Total market time | 56 days | −32.5% |
| Average sale price | $557,100 | −13.6% |
| Median sale price | $531,000 | −10.8% |

Prices, market time and inventory over the past month
Prices are drifting lower. The median sale price was $531,000 this week, down from about $583,000 in mid-September and $549,000 at the start of October. Weekly prices swing with the mix of homes that close, so read this as a soft trend rather than a sudden drop.
Homes are selling faster. Total market time fell to 56 days, the shortest of the past four weeks (it was about 92 days in mid-September). Well-priced homes are still getting snapped up.
New listings are steady but light. Sellers brought 95 new homes to market this week, in line with the 92–113 range of the past month. Closings dipped to 57 after an end-of-quarter spike of 82 in late September.
Across the river: Portland Metro snapshot
Portland Metro cooled more gently. Pending sales slipped 2.1% to 1,933 for October 9–15, a smaller dip than Clark County’s 3.3%. Closings rose 8.6% to 214, and 373 new listings came to market, up 2.8%.
Prices were mixed: the median fell 5.2% to $545,000, while the average rose 1.7% to $624,100. Total market time jumped to 83 days (+29.7%), meaning more of the homes that closed had been listed for a while, unlike Clark County’s quicker 56 days.
