During the month of May there were 63 homes that sold in Port Orchard. These Port Orchard homes actually had a transfer of home ownership. Contracts complete and Lender funds available.  Once all the I’s were dotted and the T’s crossed there where deeds recorded at the Kitsap County courthouse that transferred the property into the new home owner’s name! If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the Escrow Association of Washington site.

Virtual Shopping Shout Out | West Sound Landscaping Port Orchard WA | Gravel   West Sound Landscaping [253] 857-3378 I love to shop online! I think it stems from commuting for several years from South King County to Redmond and being in my car for several hours during the day. Or, it might be because I spent the late 1970's and early 1980's living in a very small town in Eastern Washington and had to either drive several hours to Wenatchee or the Tri-Cities, so if I can shop online I WILL. Shopping for some items online - or virtually is something that is very attractive to lots of DIY'ers!  I like nothing more than calling up a company - getting a bid and placing an order without entering the physical storefront.  I have met several local area businesses this way.  One is - WEST SOUND ... 07/30/2009

How will you know when we hit bottom?  Do you chance waiting and then find yourself buying on the "upswing"? These are all very important questions and questions that many real estate experts are trying to answer for their buyers.   Right now I don... 05/12/2009

Here is the clip from Port Orchard.  Did you attend a "Tea Party" today?  I was unable to attend but was there in spirit.  I really don't mind paying taxes for the services we are provided but I do mind paying taxes when the government just can't get a handle on spending. My family has had to tighten our budget and so should the country.  I am just so frustrated by the lack of respect that DC has for MainStreet!   04/15/2009

  Port Orchard :  During the year of 2008 there were 684 homes sold in Port Orchard with an Average Sales Price of $288,403.  I would rather use Median and for 2008 the Median Sales Price was $255,000.  The Average Market Time was 112 days and the Median Market Time was 82 days.  Homes sold very close to the list price during 2008.  Average list to average sale ratio for these 684 homes was 97.59% while the Median list to sale ratio was 100% and yes I checked that figure twice!  It seems that we are pricing property correctly.  So how is that pricing compared to the year 2007? Port Orchard : During the year of 2007 there were 914 homes sold in Port Orchard with an Average Sales Price of $302,031.  The Median Sales Price was $280,949.  The Average Market Time was on average 97 days and t... 01/19/2009
