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.  I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.

Port Orchard :  During the year of 2008 there were 684 homes sold in Port Orchard with an Average Sales Price of $288,403.  I would rather use Median and for 2008 the Median Sales Price was $255,000.  The Average Market Time was 112 days and the Median Market Time was 82 days.

Homes sold very close to the list price during 2008.  Average list to average sale ratio for these 684 homes was 97.59% while the Median list to sale ratio was 100% and yes I checked that figure twice!  It seems that we are pricing property correctly.  So how is that pricing compared to the year 2007?

Port Orchard : During the year of 2007 there were 914 homes sold in Port Orchard with an Average Sales Price of $302,031.  The Median Sales Price was $280,949.  The Average Market Time was on average 97 days and the Median Market Time was 70 days.  Let’s look at the 2007 list to sale ratio.  the Average list to average sale ratio for the 914 homes was 98.68% while the Median list to sale ration was 98.60%.

There were 230 more homes sold in 2007 than in 2008. The Average List Price for 2008 was $17,670 lower than for the year 2007.  The Median List Price for 2008 was $29,950 lower than for the year 2007.  Those figures just don’t look too fun do they?  So what was the actual sale price differences?  The Average Sales Price for 2008 was $20,572 lower than for the year 2007.  The Median Sales Price for 2008 was $25,949 lower than 2007.

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.  I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.
