Bremerton WA Real Estate Market Report Recap | August 2008

Here is the Real Estate Market Activity for January – August 2008. Check back each month to see the monthly 2008 trend for Bremerton WA.

On August 31st there were 551 homes for sale with 4 of those homes listed as a contingent sale and 57 homes listed as Pending Inspection (new NWMLS term STI was replaced) which means there is a contract that has been presented and accepted by the seller with the condition of the home inspection. Once the home inspection has taken place these 57 homes will either go back on the market or be listed as pending.  These homes are not available for public view and will not show in the active section of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
