Introducing The Market Report Year in Review
I am proud to present the Market Report: Puget Sound Real Estate Trends & 2015 Year in Review, a comprehensive look at the 2015 real estate market in an exploration of seven key counties of Western Washington: King, Snohomish, Kitsap, Pierce, Jefferson and Island counties, as well as 29 neighborhoods for our current and prospective clients.
Market Update: November 2015
November's numbers are in and the Bainbridge Island real estate market inventory continues to wane, as the number of active listings was down nearly 20% month-over-month. Sales also decreased, as the number of units sold was down nearly 30% compared to October's numbers. Given the anemic inventory, however, the median listing price increased $90K from the previous year to $875K. And buyers made their presence felt as the median sale price of $690K was up over $175K compared to last year. Along with increased prices, homes sold in an average of just 23 days on the market, down 62% from the previous year.
