  <a href="http://westsoundlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Home-Sold.jpg"><img title="Home Sold" src="http://westsoundlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Home-Sold.jpg" height="199" alt="Port Orchard Homes Sold" style="margin: 10px;" width="300" /></a>During the month of June there were 78 homes that sold in Port Orchard. These Port Orchard homes actually had a transfer of home ownership. Contracts complete and Lender funds available.
</p>
<p>
  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!
</p>
<p>
  If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the <a href="http://www.pugetsoundrealestatetoday.com/What_20_is_20_Escrow_20_in_20_Washington.html" title="Escrow Association of Washington">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Port Orchard Washington.
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 78 Port Orchard homes -<span></span>
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$240,390</strong> [May -$246,917 - April -$246,162 -March -$245,815 February -$241,177 January - $245,351]
  </li>
  <li>$127 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$234,948</strong> [May -$244,070 <strong>-</strong> April - $243,425 March -$241,747 February -$227,483 January -$239,603]
  </li>
  <li>$124 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these 78 Port Orchard homes was 1893 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 116 days on the market (DOM) The list to sale ratio for these homes was 97.73 percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 97.73 of what the seller requested.
</p>
<p>
  Not a bad time to purchase a home in Port Orchard, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.
</p>
<p>
  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. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong>

                An eclectic home in desirable Manette to bring out the romantic, eclectic in you! Virtually restored over the last 12 years w/attention to every detail.
                <p>
                  Superior residential metal roof that far outlasts conventional roofing, not to mention being environmentally friendly! Cement-plank lap siding – the most popular siding in America today because of its strength, beauty and durability.
                </p>
                <p>
                  Vaulted ceilings, Eco-heaters, painted wood floors and attention to every detail. You will find the finish work of the remodel very aesthetically pleasing. The home also features several banks of specialty windows. All energy efficient white vinyl.
                </p>
                <p>
                  If you are a gardener you will love this blank canvas. Plant some vegetables on the upper level sunny area or if you would rather lounge around you have a great place to place a Gazebo and maybe a fire pit for some quiet relaxation.
                </p>
                <p>
                  All this and just minutes to the Ferry for an easy relaxing commute to Seattle if that is where you work.

<p>
  During the month of April there were 61. [25 less homes sold than in March] homes that sold in Port Orchard.&nbsp;&nbsp; These Port Orchard 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 <a href="http://www.pugetsoundrealestatetoday.com/What_20_is_20_Escrow_20_in_20_Washington.html" title="Escrow Association of Washington">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Port Orchard Washington. <img title="More..." src="http://www.portorchardhomesforsale.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" />
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 61 Port Orchard homes – <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$246,162</strong> [March -$245,815&nbsp;February -$241,177 January - $245,351]
  </li>
  <li>$141 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$243,425</strong> [March -$241,747&nbsp;February -$227,483 January -$239,603]
  </li>
  <li>$139 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these 61 Port Orchard homes was 1811 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 94 days on the market (DOM) The list to sale ratio for these homes was 98.88 &nbsp; percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 98.88 of what the seller requested. Not a bad time to purchase a home in Port Orchard, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong> So what is the absorption rate at this point in time?&nbsp; Check here for the definition of absorption rates – <a href="../market-stats/kitsap-county-absorption-rates/" title="Absorption Rates">Absorption Rates</a> If you would like to find out the value of your home please feel free to contact me via phone or email.

  Week five- A weeks worth of market data for the Port Orchard real estate community. Here is the real estate market data between Monday, May 11th through Sunday, May 16th.
</p>
<p>
  Each week I will give an update that will include the previous week, Monday through Sunday. Might be fun. My new IDX site (home search site) went live this last week, so I am able to embed in each post some new data. I thought this week I would put the listings that came on the market in the last 7 days.
</p>

</p>
<p>
  During the month of April there were 15 (4 more than March) homes that sold in Silverdale. These Silverdale 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!
</p>
<p>
  If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the <a href="http://www.pugetsoundrealestatetoday.com/What_20_is_20_Escrow_20_in_20_Washington.html" title="Escrow Association of Washington">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Silverdale Washington.
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 15 <strong>Silverdale homes that sold in April</strong> -
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$270,356</strong> [329,606 March, $286,570 February, $268,117 January, $318,570 December]
  </li>
  <li>$123 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$265,621</strong> [$323,491 March, $281,970 February, $259,483 January,$308,880 December]
  </li>
  <li>$121 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these Silverdale homes was 2192 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 79 days on the market (DOM).&nbsp; The list to sale ratio for these homes was 98.24 percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 98.24% of what the seller requested.
</p>
<p>
  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. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong>
</p>

<p>
  If you are looking for real estate in Bremerton and have decided that you want to purchase a Bank Owned Property or a REO as they are called in the industry here is a list.
</p>
<p>
  Sometimes a bank owned property is a great deal – and then again sometimes not. &nbsp;Depends on what you are buying the property for. &nbsp;Are you using it as an investment or are you purchasing the property as your principle residence.
</p>
<p>
  Most bank owned homes are sold “as is” which means they will not make repairs to the property, however you must still have an inspection so that you can decide what repairs will be on your dime. &nbsp;After you have your inspection you should be able to decide if a bank owned property is a good deal or not.
</p>
<p>
  Want to take a look at any of these homes just give me a call – 360-830-69195

  <strong><img title="Bremerton Homes for Sale" src="http://westsoundlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Home-For-Sale-Sign.jpg" height="199" alt="Bremerton Homes for Sale" style="margin: 10px;" width="300" />During the month of March&nbsp; there were 61</strong> <strong>homes that sold in Bremerton</strong>. &nbsp; [zip codes: 98310, 98311, 98312, 98314, 98337]. &nbsp; 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!
</p>
<p>
  If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the <a href="http://www.pugetsoundrealestatetoday.com/What_20_is_20_Escrow_20_in_20_Washington.html" title="Escrow Association of Washington">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Bremerton Washington.
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 61 Bremerton homes -
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$202,739</strong> [$220,258 February -$203,640 January -$224,396 December]
  </li>
  <li>$120
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$198,231</strong> [$213,465 February -$201,166 January -$218,171 December]
  </li>
  <li>$114
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these 61 Bremerton homes was 1740 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 122 days on the market (DOM).
</p>
<p>
  The list to sale ratio for these homes was 97.77 percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 97.77% of what the seller requested.
</p>
<p>
  Not a bad time to purchase a home in Bremerton, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low and with the incentives from the government you might want to look at what it means to you.&nbsp; In fact it is a great time if you are a 1st time home buyer and qualify for the $8,000 tax credit – <strong>CREDIT! NOT loan!</strong> Read the information I have written about the program here
</p>
<p>
  <strong><a href="http://westsoundlive.com/finally-official-homebuyers-tax-credit-extended-april-30-2010/" title="It is finally official. The homebuyers&amp;apos; tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010.">It is finally official. The hombuyer’s tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
  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. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong>

  During the month of March there were 11 (6 more than February) homes that sold in Silverdale. These Silverdale 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!

There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Silverdale Washington.
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 5 <strong>Silverdale homes that sold in March</strong> -
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$329,606</strong> [$286,570 February, $268,117 January, $318,570 December]
  </li>
  <li>$144 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>$323,491</strong> [$281,970 February, $259,483 January,$308,880 December]
  </li>
  <li>$142 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these Silverdale homes was 2301 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 118 days on the market (DOM).&nbsp; Days on market rose slightly by 20 days.
</p>
<p>
  The list to sale ratio for these homes was 98.314percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 98.14% of what the seller requested.
</p>
<p>
  Not a bad time to purchase a home in Silverdale, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low and with the incentives from the government you might want to look at what it means to you.&nbsp; In fact it is a great time if you are a 1st time home buyer and qualify for the $8,000 tax credit – <strong>CREDIT! NOT loan!</strong> Read the information I have written about the program here
</p>
<p>
  <strong><a href="http://westsoundlive.com/finally-official-homebuyers-tax-credit-extended-april-30-2010/" title="It is finally official. The homebuyers&amp;apos; tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010.">It is finally official. The hombuyer’s tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
  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. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong>
</p>
<p>
  So what is the absorption rate at this point in time?&nbsp; Check here for the definition of absorption rates – <a href="http://westsoundlive.com/market-stats/kitsap-county-absorption-rates/" title="Absorption Rates">Absorption Rates</a>
</p>
<p>
  Using the formula and only including active and contingent homes on the market the absorption rate for January would be 12.4 months – ouch! We had been down to 5 months in the last quarter of 2009.&nbsp; Of course remember we are looking at a trend, so as we go through 2010 we will get a better picture.&nbsp; Hopefully, low number of closings in January is not a trend.

      <title>Port Orchard First Time Home Buyer &#8211; ONLY 29 DAYs</title>

<p>
  <strong>You only have 29 days to be in a binding contract with a Port Orchard home seller to qualify for the $8,000 tax credit.</strong> Now, remember you can receive this credit now even if you have filed your 2009 income tax return.&nbsp; You just need to file an amended return and “wala” CASH!
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Do you know if you are a first time home buyer?</strong> Sounds like a stupid question but there are people out there that have owned homes in the past who will now qualify as a first time home buyer.
</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    <strong>What is the definition of a first-time home buyer?</strong><br />
    The law defines “first-time home buyer” as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. For married taxpayers, the law tests the home-ownership history of both the home buyer and his/her spouse.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<p>
  I currently have a first time home buyer that fits this definition.&nbsp; They were very excited to learn the news.&nbsp; We are out looking for the home and now know we only have 30 days.&nbsp; I have two other buyers that have written homes this month that qualify as long as we close prior to June 30th.&nbsp; They will – they have loan approval and appraisals are complete just finishing the final touches prior to signing loan documents.
</p>
<p>
  I have another client that is in the counter-offer stage and will know either this evening or tomorrow if the home he chose will be the home he receives the first time home buyer tax credit on or if we need to find another.
</p>
<p>
  I have clients coming from California the week of April 17th but still have some slots available to show home to you.&nbsp; Give me a call as soon as you can so we can start the process.

</p>
<p>
  During the month of February there were 5 (1 less than January) homes that sold in Silverdale. These Silverdale 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!
</p>
<p>
  If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the <a href="http://www.pugetsoundrealestatetoday.com/What_20_is_20_Escrow_20_in_20_Washington.html" title="Escrow Association of Washington">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Silverdale Washington.
</p>
<p>
  Let’s look at those 5 <strong>Silverdale homes that sold in February</strong> -
</p>
<p>
  <strong>Average List Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>$286,570 [$268,117 January, $318,570 December]
  </li>
  <li>$136 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Average Sold Price</strong>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>$281,970 [$259,483 January,$308,880 December]
  </li>
  <li>$134 per sq ft
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The average sq ft of these Silverdale homes was 2062 sq ft. These homes spent an average of 93 days on the market (DOM).&nbsp; Days on market continues to drop in Silverdale.
</p>
<p>
  The list to sale ratio for these homes was 98.39 percent. What that meas is that buyers offered 98.39% of what the seller requested.
</p>
<p>
  Not a bad time to purchase a home in Silverdale, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low and with the incentives from the government you might want to look at what it means to you.&nbsp; In fact it is a great time if you are a 1st time home buyer and qualify for the $8,000 tax credit – <strong>CREDIT! NOT loan!</strong> Read the information I have written about the program here
</p>
<p>
  <strong><a href="http://westsoundlive.com/finally-official-homebuyers-tax-credit-extended-april-30-2010/" title="It is finally official. The homebuyers&amp;apos; tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010.">It is finally official. The hombuyer’s tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
  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. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.</strong>
</p>
<p>
  So what is the absorption rate at this point in time?&nbsp; Check here for the definition of absorption rates – <a href="http://westsoundlive.com/market-stats/kitsap-county-absorption-rates/" title="Absorption Rates">Absorption Rates</a>
</p>
<p>
  Using the formula and only including active and contingent homes on the market the absorption rate for January would be 12.4 months – ouch! We had been down to 5 months in the last quarter of 2009.&nbsp; Of course remember we are looking at a trend, so as we go through 2010 we will get a better picture.&nbsp; Hopefully, low number of closings in January is not a trend.
