Let’s look at those 41 Bremerton homes -

Bremerton January Homes Sold 2012

Total number of Homes Sold	41
Median Original List Price	$169,900
Median List Price	$150,000
Median Selling Price	$141,000
Cumulative days on Market	94
Days on Market	63

Here is a great chart to compare the sold properties by Month over the last year. Gives us a good look at the year that was 2011. The summer selling market did take place along with a couple of months that had usual spikes. October was a surprise with that sold high of 86. Our prices are still declining and will probably show a decline into and through 2012 with bank foreclosure inventory being released. Currently a 13% decline in median price from 2011. I do believe that if you are a seller and would like to sell you must list early in the year to garner the best possible price. The median sales price has come back up after that huge dip in November.

Not a bad time to purchase a home in Bremerton, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.

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.

• 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.

Today I received my Housing Trends eNewsletter and found this blurb very interesting....

" Buying is now cheaper than renting in 74 percent of the nation’s largest cities. Low home prices and “rock-bottom” interest rates as well as tax advantages of homeownership are the reasons why it’s now cheaper to BUY a 2-bdrm home than to rent one.

So off I go to read the CNN Money articlefor details.

As usual it all depends on your market. With housing prices still on the decline and interest rates so low it is very easy to find a home in the Bremerton area where a mortgage payment could be lower than what you can find for rent in the area.

The question is are you ready to be a home owner? Home ownership is very different than renting. There is no manager to call when the dryer goes out or the roof leaks.

Of course owning a home can really give you a sense of neighborhood and community. I have only rented for very short period of times usually in-between home ownership and I have never liked it.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of home ownership just give us a call.
