bremerton buyers: Bremerton Real Estate | Townhouses and Condos - 01/03/12 04:05 AM
Maybe it is a townhouse or condo you are interested in.  Maybe you would like to have the security of a controlled complex.  Maybe you would like to have the freedom from yard maintenance.  Maybe a single residence just seems too much.  For what ever reason Bremerton has several different types of town-homes and condominiums on the market.  From new construction to established communities, units with views, units with yards, several styles and sizes and prices to fit almost any buyer's budget.  There are 45 Townhouses or Condos on the market.

bremerton buyers: I might just get NASTY. You better prepare your buyers! - 10/01/09 11:58 PM

 
Like the title? Got your attention?  Good!  Of course I am sure most of you here are not the agent I am talking about. I know that the population of our ActiveRain network is more professional than most.  So, what has me riled?
I have always thought myself as being a very ethical agent. I have always worked well with others and I do believe that this is a professional business, but lately I am just not so sure I am going to be taking the side of real estate agents.  I think I am going to take the … (30 comments)

bremerton buyers: Bremerton First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit - 09/01/08 03:45 PM

 
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 area we are in an amazing buyer's market. It just might be the perfect time for you to purchase a home if you are a First-Time Home Buyer. Here is a nudge to get you into the housing market. On July 30th President Bush signed into law House Bill 3221 (H.R. 3221: Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008) which included a special tax incentive for First-Time Home Buyers (Sec.3001).

bremerton buyers: Bremerton : Silverdale : Naval Base Kitsap : Yes, you still need a home inspection - 05/12/08 08:54 PM





Just because a seller states the home is sold "as-is" you will still need to have a home inspection done for YOU. I don't care if the seller isn't going to repair any problems and I am sure if they have had their real estate agent list the home "as-is" there are probably plenty.  "AS-IS" really is a "legal term" that is over used in the remarks section of many real estate listings.  "As-is" still must come with disclosures if the seller is aware. 
 


Anyway, this isn't about the seller, this is about you the buyer.  If … (11 comments)

bremerton buyers: Old Fashioned Service with the Technology of Today! - 03/24/08 03:03 PM
 
   
Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate?  As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970's.  I don't call that slacking and I don't call it out of the loop.  Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things.  … (4 comments)

Look at your new BAH rate for 2008 with Dependants the rate is $1207.00 per month tax fee! Is that enough to purchase a home in the Naval Base Kitsap area in Kitsap County?

bremerton buyers: Naval Base Kitsap | BAH - Tax Breaks - HomeOwnership - 01/13/08 05:54 PM
 
 
I am sure as a military member you have heard this phrase about a million times in the last several years.  Interest rates have been so low for so long that home ownership has been easier than ever before for anyone and this especially includes the military population, who until recently didn't feel like they could or should purchase properties.  Never before has the military population owned a higher percentage of homes.
The days of base living has changed drastically. With most installations switching over to PPV the climate has changed.  The thought of waiting until retirement to purchase … (0 comments)

OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL!!
Where the heck do I live?!! I had no idea that living here in Bremerton would be so filled with snow days!! This is the 3rd YES, the 3rd snow fall of the winter season!!! I live on a very steep hill so when it snows I am out with my boots and mittens on shoveling away! I shovel my whole street. Yes, I am that crazy lady who plows by hand.
Hey, today I was out shoveling and I was up at the intersection and along come one of the city's snow plows, not the … (15 comments)

bremerton buyers: Naval Base Kitsap | Is this Legal? Receiving Tax Breaks with Tax Free Money? - 01/06/08 06:01 PM
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.
The average homeowner receives tax breaks associated with home ownership.  The yearly property taxes and yearly interest payments are tax deductible on their yearly tax return.

bremerton buyers: Bremerton WA Real Estate | NoBody Move!! I lost my Crystal Ball!!! - 01/04/08 07:07 PM
I lost  my crystal ball!! No, really I did!!! I have been looking for it all over! I look several times a day. In fact I look for it every time my phone rings.    
A client will call with those "real estate questions", you know the ones. "When will it be a Seller's market again?", "Are interest rates going to go down?", "If I buy now can I still sell without having to  wait years and years and still make a profit?"  Every time I hear these questions I politely ask If I can put them on hold explaining that I … (15 comments)

bremerton buyers: Bremerton WA Real Estate | Baby, It's Cold Outside - 01/02/08 06:55 PM

As I am sure we all suspected when Puget Sound Energy released its "merge" information - Puget Energy Signs Merger Agreement with Consortium of North American Infrastructure Investors it wouldn't be too long before we would see a request for a rate increase.  We were all right! Puget Sound Energy in a press release December 3rd has started the process for an increase.  Infrastructure investments, higher costs prompt Puget Sound Energy to request general rate increase for late 2008.
This could result in an average increase of approximately 9.5% for electric and 5.3 for gas.  With this kind of information you better … (6 comments)

bremerton buyers: Be Green - Treecycle - 12/27/07 04:00 PM
Bremerton residents have the opportunity to Treecycle their Christmas tree until January, 15, 2008.  Just make sure you remove all the ornaments, tinsel and lights before taking it to the recycling drop area.  If your tree has been flocked or you have sprayed "snow" on it you will not be able to recycle because the chemicals used in flocking can be harmful to the environment.  
If you would like to receive the wood chips from the recycled trees you can visit the Kitsap County web site for directions. Kitsap County Treecycle Program.

bremerton buyers: Bremerton WA Homeowners | What do you know about your Homeowner's Policy? - 12/22/07 10:15 PM
 
How many times have you shopped around for homeowners insurance?  This seems to be an item that is left to the last minute and then rushed.  I am sure several new homeowners have just gone with who the lender or escrow agent has recommended because it was quick and easy. Did they get the best deal? Who knows?  I am sure that no one did much research on their behalf. 
Have you ever compared rates and coverage on any of your home purchases? Have you ever changed insurance carriers after you have closed?  You pay hundreds of dollars a year … (3 comments)
