Bremerton Real Estate Market Snap Shot - It's almost Spring!

There are 23 days until Spring! There are 64 days until the extended first-time home buyer tax credit expires! Can you believe that!  Soon the first quarter of 2010 will be in the books! I thought that I would just look at some market data today and give you all an update for the Bremerton area.  This is East Bremerton, West Bremerton, Downtown and any address that has Bremerton listed as the city.

The Bremerton 2010 real estate market is off to a little slower start than 2009. I think with the uncertainty of the economy the first quarter will close at the same or lower than 2009.

Are short sales effecting the market? I think that short sales effect neighborhoods more importantly than the market as a whole.  Currently in Bremerton there are 60 short sale properties.  That is just 13% of the total inventory.  There are 464 homes on the market in Bremerton right now.  The list price for these short sales averages to $221,655 with a 141 days on market.

What about Bank Owned properties? I have to tell you that some bank owned properties really tick me off.  For some reason some of the homes are listed below what the true market is and hence really can hurt a local neighborhood.  There are currently 30 bank owned homes on the market in Bremerton - just about 6.5% of the total inventory.  There are some real dogs out there - some that wouldn't even be eligible for lender financing!  Bank Owned homes are hit and miss - maybe a good buy and maybe a nightmare!  These homes are listed for an average of $228,740 with 84 days on market.

To date in the Bremerton Real Estate Market  there have been 75 home sold and closed. These homes were listed with an average price of $211,432 and actually sold for an average sales price of $207,600 or 98% of list to sale ratio.  These homes were on the market for an average of 101 days.

In 2009 there were 86 homes sold in the Bremerton area for the same time period.  These homes were listed with an average price of $216,024 and actually sold for an average sales price of $209,272 or 96% list to sale ratio.

So, there you have a little Market Snap Shot - not real good news but not real bad news. You can contact me with any specific questions on specific properties.  I will gladly get you the information I have access to.

Bremerton Neighborhoods | Hyper Local Video | Manette

Manette is just across from downtown Bremerton via the Manette bridge, and is considered one of the most desirable living communities in Bremerton.

The community has been branded as the "Sausalito of the Northwest" by former Bremerton Mayor Cary Bozeman and Congressman Norm Dicks. Manette is the cool - quirky area where you can find several different types of homes and retail outlets. You can see Ferries taking travelers through Rich Passage from many of the view decks in this community.

Bremerton Attractions | Hyper Local Video | Driving the Manette Bridge

Why is WSDOT replacing the Manette Bridge? The Manette Bridge, which was built in 1930, is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete.

Here are some up-to-date facts concerning the new bridge and its design per the WSDOT website - 

November 2009

The project team is currently finalizing design of the bridge. Advertises for bids in March 2010. Construction begins in summer 2010.

Roundabout on Manette side At the request of the City of Bremerton, the intersection on the Manette side of the new bridge will be configured as a roundabout.

More information on the frequently asked questions page. View a video of the proposed roundabout design.

Bremerton WA Real Estate |August Homes Sold | Homes Sold in Bremerton WA 2009 (

Bremerton Real Estate

 

During the month of August there were 76 homes that sold in Bremerton.  (August homes sold wans't as hot as July - a decrease of 19 but still a good month.)  These Bremerton homes actually had a transfer of home ownership.  Contracts complete and Lender funds available the home buyer and seller signed all of their documents as escrow prepared the closing packages.  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.  There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Bremerton Washington.

 

Let's look at those 76 Bremerton homes -

Average List Price

  • $218,035
  • $131 per sq ft

Average Sold Price

  • $211,758
  • $128 per sq ft

The average sq ft of these 76 Bremerton homes was 1700 sq ft.  These homes spent an average of 117 days on the market (DOM).

The list to sale ratio for these homes was 97.12 percent.  What that meas is that buyers offered 97.12% of what the seller requested. 

Not a bad time to purchase a home in Bremerton, Washington.  In fact it is a great time if you are a 1st time home buyer and qualify for the $8,000 tax credit - CREDIT! NOT loan! Read the information I have written about the program here

 

Check out some of Kitsap County Real Estate Market Data here - Kitsap County Real Estate Market Data FYI

What do these numbers mean?  Is it a good time to buy? Is it a good time to sell. It all depends on your individual situation.  I would rather buy in a buyers market and I would rather sell in a buyers market if I have to buy another home with the proceeds.  I am a fan of the NORMAL market - everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful. 

If you would like to find out the value of your home please feel free to contact me via phone or email. I would be more than happy to supply you with a FREE Market Analysis.

If you would like to purchase a home in the Kitsap County Real Estate Area please give me a call or contact me via email. We can discuss your future plans and I can set you up on an email campaign to receive the hot new listings quicker than YOU can find them.

Kitsap County Public School Information

 

Kitsap County Public School Information

 

Public Schools

 

Where you choose to live may very well depend on the school district you choose for your school age children. There are four school districts in the local area. The Bremerton School District , The South Kitsap School District , The North Kitsap School District and The Central Kitsap School District .

This is not an article about what people might think is the best district or the worst district. This article is to give you some information and some links so that you may start your search and find the district that best suits your family.

There is more to a school district than its numbers, its test scores and its size. Factors such as location to employment for parents, local childcare and over all feel of community should be considered. After all the experience you and your family have in a certain school district is a direct reflection of your involvement.

You will want to make sure you do some research on the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction website along with the OSPI Washington State Report Card . The Washington State PTA website can also give you the information about the program at each district which you can use to contact the parent organization and request newsletter and program information. Deciding on a school district can be very important so make sure you take your time and talk to as many other parents as possible.
