Bremerton Real Estate Market Data 2007 vs 2008 - 01/29/09 08:51 PM
Bremerton : During the year of 2008 there were 794 homes sold in Bremerton with an Average Sales Price of $243,507. I would rather use Median and for 2008 the Median Sales Price was $229,950. The Average Market Time was 88 days and the Median Market Time was 63 days.
Homes sold really close to the list price during 2008. Average list to average sale ratio for these 794 homes was 97.77% while the Median list to sale ratio was 99.98%. It seems that we are pricing property correctly. So how is that pricing compared to the year 2007?

1st Time Homebuyer | Kitsap County |$7,500 Tax Incentive | Just Might Become a REAL TAX CREDIT - 01/26/09 12:13 PM
Below is the article I wrote about the $7,500 Tax Incentive - it really is an incentive at this point and really not a true tax credit since it has to be paid back over a 15 year period. However, while reading the Seattle Times' real estate section online this past couple of days I came upon this article by Kenneth R. Harney
$7,500 tax credit may be yours to keep
Are you sitting on the fence? Have you read the many horror stories across the nation? Well, remember real estate is local and here in the Kitsap County … (0 comments)

United States Navy | Good Neighbor | Bremerton Revitalization - 01/17/09 02:19 PM
Authored By: Jo Soss : WestSoundLive.com
The City of Bremerton and the United States Navy have a strong commitment to the life quality of the local citizens.
With all of the past revitalization projects in the downtown Bremerton core I had always wondered about the buildings located at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) and their close proximity to the gorgeous Harborside Fountain Park.
I have taken photos at the park of the proud and sadly dilapidated Building 460. But I still felt a pride for this building and every time I look at her I wondered the … (0 comments)

If you ride the ferry, work on the ferry or are a member of communities that are served by the Washington Ferry System, which by the way is the largest in the country you may want to mark Saturday to help write a better ferry plan.

A New Look for the New Year! - 01/03/09 03:20 PM
I might be doing the opposite when it comes to "niche" marketing but I have realized from my recent sellers and buyers that I really need to broaden my blogging horizons and so I will be doing several modifications to my on line marketing plan.
This is the first blog I under took because the Active Rain network makes it so easy to "re" customize a blog. I designed the new header with one of my photos and picnik and changed the background from a photo to just a color. I think I will change to a graphic later, maybe something … (22 comments)

Authored By: Jo Soss : WestSoundLive.com
If you are in the United States Military and receive BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) it is. This is a huge financial opportunity that not many Military members take advantage of for fear of the real estate market and the lack of education concerning real estate ownership.
