On July 31st there was 565 homes for sale with 1 of those homes listed as a contingent sale and 57 of homes listed as Pending Inspection (new NWMLS term STI was replaced) which means there is a contract that has been presented and excepted by the seller with the condition of the home inspection.  Once the home inspection has taken place these 57 homes will either go back on the market or be listed as pending.  These homes are not available for public view and will not show in the active section of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

The Absorption rate in the Bremerton area is 31.03 weeks or approximately 7.14 months of inventory if the current conditions remain unchanged. This figure has really improved for the Bremerton area. 

An absorption rate is the mathematical relationship of supply and demand.  The absorption rate is the number of months it would take to sell the entire inventory of homes in the Bremerton area of Kitsap County if the pace were to stay constant.

My definition breaks down like this...



Normal Market - Between 5 and 6 months of inventory.

Seller's Market - Between 1 and 4 months of inventory.

Buyer's Market - 7 months and higher.
