Bremerton is still a Seller’s Market with just under 4 months of active inventory

Inventory is still low and Bremerton continues to be a  Seller’s* Market with just  4 months of inventory.  Below are some market statistics for the Bremerton area for the month of May 2014. These homes all have Bremerton listed as their city in their physical address. During the month of May  2014  167 new listings became active in the NWMLS data base, which was 2 homes more than May 2013 and 8 more than in April 2014.  Bremerton’s supply of inventory is low.

There were 118 homes that received offers and the seller and buyer came to terms and those homes are now pending inspection pending back up, pending short sale or PENDING and headed to closing. The pending transactions rose by 7 over May of 2013 , but was a decrease from April of 2014.   During May 107  homes that had been listed as pending closed and the change of ownership was recorded at the Kitsap County Courthouse. This is a 11.5% increase from May of 2013 and a 21.6% increase over last month.

*Using absorption rates can help you define markets. My definition breaks down like this…

Normal Market – Between 5 and 6 months of inventory. 

Seller’s Market - Between 1 and 4 months of inventory. 

Buyer’s Market – 7 months and higher. 

Now remember that absorption rates just track trends and isn’t an exact science!

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.
