In Kitsap County, we are seeing buyer demand coming forward. Yet given the historically low interest rates, the local market needs additional listings to meet pent-up demand from the backlog of buyers.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, there were fewer new listings in April versus April 2019, which leads to fewer homes going under contract as well. However, you still need to be Buyer Ready to get a home in today’s market! The sales activity intensity of homes selling within the first 30 days is aligned with last year for homes priced up to $1 million. Up to $500,000, sales activity intensity is at extreme and the $500,000 to $1 million range is strong.
