Key Market Indicators – April Recap 2021
Kitsap County Housing Update - Resale Only
Every May we see a nice uptick in the number of new resale listings coming on the market. This increased availability and selection will be present throughout the summer. However, there is still a large backlog of home buyers, keeping the market in a state of “instant response” for each new resale listing. In Kitsap County, the market is virtually sold out up to $1.5 million. Sales Activity Intensity™ locally is predominantly uber-frenzy for homes priced up to $1.5 million, where 98 percent of sales take place. We are also seeing a very strong number of homes going under contract above the $1.5 million price point.
