A wave of new listings
hit Kitsap’s real estate market in July, helping to
replenish — if only slightly — the county’s scant supply of
homes for sale.
Other Western Washington markets enjoyed a similar influx of listings, Northwest Multiple Listing Service reported.
“We might actually be starting to move very slowly back toward a more balanced market,” OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate, said in a news release.
In Kitsap, 654 homes came on the market in Kitsap in July, raising the total number of available listings to 944.
Inventory was still down 10 percent from July 2015, but that marked a major improvement from January, when there were 30 percent fewer homes on the market compared with the previous year.
Pending sales remained strong in July, up 7 percent from 2015, while closed sales dipped. The county’s median home price was $290,000, up about 5 percent.
