Current Market Conditions: It’s an interesting market right now. As is typical for this time of year, activity has picked up. Many Sellers are planning their relocations for right after the end of the school year. Depending on the specific area and price range, our market can be both a ‘Sellers’ or a ’Buyers’ market.
Quadrant Homes, a popular builder here in the Seattle area since 1969, has two large developments on the Kitsap Peninsula: Stendahl Ridge in Poulsbo, and The Ridge at McCormick Woods in Port Orchard. Carsten Rode, Community Sales Manager for The Ridge, and fellow Windermere agent, boasts of over 100 homes currently under contract in their developments, with prices ranging from the mid $250′s to the mid $260′s.
If you have a specific area of interest, whether as a Buyer or Seller, just drop me a quick note, and I would be glad to give you more specific data/information relevant to that area.
