Statistics are for the Bremerton downtown core and west to Kitsap Lake. The market for other parts of Bremerton and its suburbs should be similar. Bremerton homes were selling for a month end median price of $159,950 at the end of October, about the same as a year ago and about 39% higher than last month. The median price last month was exceptionally low and appeared to be an anomaly. The more stable 3 month moving average median price ($159,983) was about 1% lower than a year ago, same as last month. The Kitsap County 3 month moving average median price is 1% higher than it was a year ago.   Bremerton's 3 month moving average for number of closed sales is 42% lower than a year ago and 8% higher than last month.

In Kitsap County Washington Short Sales are almost 50% of our listings. The prices were escalated so much the last ten years it isn't surprising that they are all on sale now. People were able to refinance or take equity loans on their homes every six months because their home values were rising so fast. I owned a Mortgage and Real Estate company at the time and I really would see the same people coming back every six months to draw money out of their homes. At one point I had to tell one family no I wouldn't refinance them any more because they were causing more harm to themselves by refinancing for dental work or a new fence around the yard every six months. Unfortunately they just went  some where else and did it anyway. I see this adjustment in prices caused by short sales and fore... 10/31/2010

Statistics are for the Bremerton downtown core and west to Kitsap Lake. The market for other parts of Bremerton and its suburbs should be similar. Bremerton homes were selling for a month end median price of $115,000 at the end of September, about 28% lower than a year ago and about 49% lower than last month. These large changes are in part a correction from last month, when the median price appeared to rise sharply because the homebuyer tax credit expiration resulted in a dearth of buyers at the low end of the market and skewed the price distribution of sales upward. The more stable 3 month moving average median price ($162,483) was about 1% lower than a year ago. The Kitsap County 3 month moving average median price is 4% higher than it was a year ago.   Bremerton's 3 month moving ave... 10/19/2010

Over the last couple of days there have been a couple of blog articles written about family photos and the "should they stay or should they go" controversy.  Tanya Nouwens writes 3 Common Home Staging Myths which is a really nice article and gives her reason why she likes to leave some photos.  I agreed with her reasons.  I also understand why some agents and staggers might disagree.  It is all up to the seller and their real estate team I suppose.  Then yesterday I came across Donald Tepper's article Family Photos In Staged Homes: Are We Ignoring The Elephant In The Room? Donald's article really got me thinking.  I never think about race or ethnicity in my business.  I see everyone as equal and can't even imagine a buyer not buying a home based on the photos they see or an agent for a ... 10/08/2010

Bremerton Buyers Seminar: Learn About ZERO Down Payment Programs Come and join us at Hawkins-Poe Inc. for a Buyers Seminar. Here are words from Frank Hawkins, Owner/Broker: Friends of Hawkins Poe, and our associated Brokers, There are moments in time which define opportunity. We are at one of those moments today, a time when Housing affordability has never been better and the Federal Government, in an effort to stimulate the National Economy, is subsidizing home loan interest rates at historic low levels. Knowing there is nearly 10 percent unemployment and that the economy continues to bounce along the bottom, we are seeing housing prices begin to stabilize and in some areas increase. We are seeing the Financial Markets rebound to pre-2008 levels. The sky has stopped falling and for tho... 10/06/2010

With permission from WestSoundlive.com     I am already looking to the spring home selling market.  For some reason the Fall Season brings me those thoughts.  Fall is the beginning of the end to some of our most gorgeous weather here in the West Sound.  Those gorgeous colors of fall remind me of spring and what I need to do to make my yard and home "pop" for spring. If you are thinking of selling in the spring start the process now.     THE LIST   1. Get those bulbs in the ground. (This will start your "curb appeal")   2. Rake those leaves now! (They will kill your grass if you leave them)   3. Trim those bushes, chop back those trees. (We want to SEE the house!)   4. Dig up any plants that won't be surviving the winter. (Do it now - not "in the Spring")   5. Do your "Spring Clean" in J... 09/29/2010

With permission from WestSoundLive.com Each year at this time I have the urge to think about spring! For some reason the Fall Season brings me those thoughts. Fall is the beginning of the end to some of our most gorgeous weather here in the West Sound. Those gorgeous colors of fall remind me of spring and what I need to do to make my yard and home "pop" for spring. If you are thinking of selling in the spring start the process now.       Here is one tip I thought you should know...   Fall is a great time to plant grass. You heard me right. Though it may seem counter-productive to plant something before the frost starts, the moisture of fall helps grass grow. So if you have any bare areas after a long, hot summer, now is the time to plant the seeds and reap the benefits next spring. Plus... 09/28/2010

Statistics are for the Bremerton downtown core and west to Kitsap Lake. The market for other parts of Bremerton and its suburbs should be similar. Bremerton homes were selling for a month end median price of $205,000 at the end of August, about 24% higher than a year ago and about 22% higher than last month. The more stable 3 month moving average median price ($180,650) was about 2.6% higher than a year ago. The sharp rise in median sales price in Bremerton reflects the sharp drop in the sales of lower priced homes since expiration of the homebuyer tax credit. The number of sales of higher priced homes did not fall as much. With fewer low priced sales, the median or middle price among all sales moved higher or to the right, if you can imaging a line of all the sale prices from low to hi... 09/14/2010
