How many months of inventory is this? If you take the total number of active listings and divide by the number of homes that have gone pending over the last 60 days there would be between 3.5 and 4 months for the Port Orchard/Manchester area. That would indicate a seller’s market. Lack of new homes coming on the market has set Port Orchard back to a Seller’s market when last month it was headed to a normal market.
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.
