📝 Kitsap This Week: Inventory Peaks While Pricing Pressure Builds

Another week in Kitsap County real estate, and this one tells a slightly different story than the past few weeks:

👉 More listings, more price reductions, and a slight pullback in buyer activity.

But don’t mistake that for a slow market — there’s more nuance here.

95 new listings is the highest you’ve tracked so far.

Buyers now have more options than they’ve had in weeks.

📉 Pending activity pulled back

After hitting 93 pendings last week, we dropped to 72 this week.

This doesn’t mean buyers disappeared — it means:
👉 Buyers are becoming more selective
👉 They have more choices
👉 They’re not jumping on everything

✂️ Price reductions SURGED

74 price reductions is the biggest standout stat this week.

That tells us:
👉 Sellers are adjusting faster
👉 Overpricing is getting corrected quickly
👉 The market is pushing back on unrealistic pricing

⚡ Homes are still moving fast

Even with all of that:
👉 69 homes still went under contract in 10 days or less

So the takeaway is clear:
The right homes are still moving quickly. The rest are adjusting.

Not slowing down — just becoming more price-aware and strategic.
