Here is the Real Estate Market Activity for January - October 2008. Check back each month to see the monthly 2008 trend for Bremerton WA.
On October 31st there were 570 homes for sale with 5 of those homes listed as a contingent sale and 34 homes listed as Pending Inspection (new NWMLS term STI was replaced) which means there is a contract that has been presented and accepted by the seller with the condition of the home inspection or a feasibility study.
Once the home inspection has taken place these x 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. (NWMLS)
During the Month of October 91 homes were new to the Bremerton area Real Estate Market with a median price of $226,000.
During the Month of October 40 homes went under contract and were removed from the active Bremerton homes data base. The median price for Bremerton area homes was $208,400 with a market time of 97 days (median). This figure has really dropped back to what was the spring market and heading into the holidays we will brace for this slow down to continue. The days on market stats still look good and inventory has come down. I do think that 2009 will be promising!
During the Month of October 78 homes sold - which means that ownership changed hands and there are new owners listed on the tax records recorded at the Kitsap County courthouse. These Bremerton area homes were on the market 110 days (median) and sold for a median price of $224,000.
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.
The Absorption rate in the Bremerton area is 31.67 weeks or approximately 7.30 months of inventory if the current conditions remain unchanged. These figures have increased. Remember absorption rates track trends.
Using absorption rates can help you define markets. 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.
