  January 22, 2014 by Jo Soss  Timing is everything, in the stock market and in real estate.  What year you purchased your home will determine if you are one of the lucky ones that can sale today and enjoy the lower prices and lower interest rates or have to stay put for a few more years.  Those that purchased prior to 2004 and sold in 2007 hit the Kitsap County Real Estate lottery!  Those of us that purchased in 2006 and 2007 are still in a huge puddle from that bubble!  Unless you have funds to take to escrow or you are willing to short sale it is probably best to stay put a couple more years. The real estate boom started in 2004 with a huge increase in sales which led to a huge increase in median home sale prices for 2005.  The next 3 years sellers would see multiple offers and lower...

Port Orchard WA Real Estate – Homes SOLD 2012 The greater Puget Sound area is experiencing some exciting news lately.  Seattle and King County have been boasting some increased activity with multiple offers and home sale prices rising.  As with every thing real estate the word local should be kept in mind.  The market in the Kitsap County area isn’t as robust.  Are we at the bottom in Port Orchard Real Estate?  I think, almost.  The area was mentioned in Forbes’ article  ”Cities Where Home Prices Are Still Tumbling”, is the area really still “tumbling”, I don’t think so but the area isn’t enjoying the start of a housing recovery like other parts of Puget Sound.  Olympia also made that list of the 25 cities still tumbling.  I’m not worried about the data. For the most part Port Orchard e...
