			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>During the month of December there were 54</strong><strong> homes that sold in Bremerton</strong>. [zip codes: 98310, 98311, 98312, 98314, 98337].  These <strong>Bremerton homes</strong> actually had a transfer of home ownership. Contracts complete and Lender funds available. The home buyer and seller signed all of their documents and escrow prepared the closing packages. Once all the I’s were dotted and the T’s crossed there where deeds recorded at the Kitsap County courthouse that transferred the property into the new home owner’s name!</p>
<p>If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the <a title="Escrow Association of Washington" href="http://www.e-a-w.org/what-is-escrow/" target="_blank">Escrow Association of Washington</a> site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for <strong>Bremerton Washington</strong>.</p>
<p>Let’s look at those 54 Bremerton homes -</p>

<p>Here is a great chart to compare the sold properties by Month over the last year.  Gives us a good look at the year that was 2011.  The summer selling market did take place along with a couple of months that had usual spikes.  October was a surprise with that sold high of 86.  Our prices are still declining and will probably show a decline into and through 2012 with bank foreclosure inventory being released.  Currently a 13% decline in median price from 2011.   I do believe that if you are a seller and would like to sell you must list early in the year to garner the best possible price.   The median sales price has come back up after that huge dip in November.  Right now today there are 483 homes on the market, with 5 homes pending in the new year, with 23 homes pending some kind of inspection status and 7 homes sold and closed.</p>

<p>Not a bad time to <strong>purchase a home in Bremerton, Washington.</strong> Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.</p>
<p>What do these numbers mean? Is it a good time to buy? Is it a good time to sell. It all depends on your individual situation. I would rather buy in a buyers market and I would rather sell in a buyers market if I have to buy another home with the proceeds. <strong>I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful. </strong></p>
