Poulsbo Real Estate Market - April 2008

By
Real Estate Agent with Prowse and Company

Statistics we refer to are for that part of Poulsbo encompassing the downtown core, from the head of Liberty Bay southeast to Ne-Si-Ka Bay, including parts north to Sawdust Hill Rd. The market for other parts of Poulsbo and its suburbs should have approximately similar trends. Homes in Poulsbo were selling for a median price of about $345,268 at the end of April, down about 3.2% from a year ago. Kitsap County median prices have fallen 5.3% over the past year. The number of closed sales YTD has is the same as last year, and the number of YTD pending sales fell by 16%. This compares to a drop of 25% in YTD closed sales compared to a year ago for Kitsap County as a whole. A large portion of the currently pending sales is from presales at one moderately priced new construction development - homes that never appeared as active listings. The Poulsbo listing inventory (170) has risen by 53% compared to a year ago and is up 6% since last month. The inventory turnover (total homes on the market divided by number sold last month) is 9.4 months. Calculating inventory turnover in this manner is artificially low since a number of the new construction homes closing did not show as active listings.
