I am not going to say that the job market and housing market is great in Vancouver Washington. It is still slow. While it may seem that things are not as bad as the statistics say all you have to do is look around neighborhoods and talk to people.

At least several of your friends will be out of a job. I have some close friends who have had jobs their whole lives and they have been unemployed the last five months.

A house that was for sale in Vancouver WA used to be snatched up really fast just 2 1/2 years ago. You will still see large sub-divisions with over half the houses or condos empty now. The growth experienced by Portland Or and Vancouver WA in the late nineties and the early part of this decade was just too fast and too much. Developers glutted the market.

Oddly enough the population of the state of Washington and Oregon is not decreasing. People are still coming here. Its just not a mass influx all at once. And even when people were coming here in high numbers the home builders were building homes way to fast. We now see that though the real estate demand was high all those years it did not warrant the gigantic supply that was being produced.

So what is the point?

We have suffered the worst. The market in Vancouver WA and Portland has stabilized. Jobs are not coming back but they are not leaving either. There are a lot of high tech companies around Vancouver WA that are not going anywhere and even more in Portland. Fred Myers, Hewlett-Packard, WaferTech, SHE America, Nautilus, and Sharp all have their headquarters here. That is not expected to change anytime soon.

There are a lot of things that still attract people to this area. Many people want to live in the Portland area but do not want the stresses and “hustle and bustle” of a large city. Vancouver Washington has no income tax, better schools by a long shot, and more reasonably priced real estate (especially now).

For $250,000 you cannot get much in Portland. Maybe a run down condo on the east side of time like the Rockwood area. In Vancouver WA you can get a decent house and for a little more you can get a very nice house with a nice sized front and backyard.

This will not be the first time Vancouver and Portland have taken a hit. Keep in mind though that Oregon and Washington are very desirable places to live. People may complain about the rain but overall the weather is temperate here, we have no natural disasters, the crime is low compared to the rest of the country, and we have an extremely educated workforce. We may not be a powerhouse like Seattle but we are not far behind either.

Houses for sale in Vancouver WA are a bargain now. You have people like me who live by LaCamas Lake and have lost $250,000 in equity in the last two years. We are the ones who may just break even when the housing market rebounds. The person who was either too young to buy or not in a position to buy when the market was going crazy is in a great position now.

The value of homes in any area are always going to be subject to boom and bust times. That is a fact of life. This is not the first time this has happened and it will not be the last if history has given us any indication. Now the housing market in Vancouver WA is going through one of those “busts.” 2010 may present a great time to make a long term investment for someone thinking ahead.

While the news may in fact seem bad now is a good time for people thinking about houses for sale Vancouver WA. This city is Portland’s largest suburb and still an attractive place for most people to live.

You can be sure the market will rebound eventually and the people who did buy now, having some foresight into the future and looking at overall trends in history, will come away with real estate investments at bargain bottom of the barrel prices.
