buyers market: 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?

I CARE! MY BUYERS CARE! And you as the listing agent should care! I just have to get some things off my chest! We all know this is a tough market! Even areas that were barely hit by the huge decline are seeing slow down and we are working very hard with qualified buyers to move this market along.
Now, I don't want to offend anyone - but I am tired of hearing "I only work with Sellers", "I never work with buyers", well if what I am saying offends you then maybe what you have said offends me. Oops … (21 comments)
