WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
According to a recent SmartMoney.com article entitled “5 Markets Expected to Fare Best in 2010” both Seattle WA and Tacoma WA were listed. While the writer forecasts a 2.44% increase for the Tacoma market, she predicts that Seattle will continue to slide by half a percent. But that’s obviously a prettier picture than in many other housing markets across the US.
The numbers here in Kitsap County WA continue to slow and flatten out, which is fairly typical for this time of year. What remains to be seen is if the market will show any signs of rebounding in the Spring.
With the extension of the 1st Time Home Buyer Credit and the new Repeat-Buyer Credit, we should begin to see some improvement and increased activity through March and April.
