Kitsap This Week: Speed Picks Up as Buyers Stay Aggressive

Spring fever in Bremerton Washington Real Estate

Another week in Kitsap County and one thing is crystal clear:

👉 The right homes are moving FAST.

Even with steady inventory, buyers are still jumping when the right property hits the market — and this week really shows it.

📊 This Week’s Kitsap Real Estate Stats (Last 7 Days)

71 new listings
81 homes accepted an offer (pending)
67 homes sold
55 homes cleared inspection or other contingencies
70 homes went pending or through inspections in 10 days or less

49 price reductions
6 price increases
10 homes back on market

And once again, several homes appear to have gone straight to pending, which likely means strong offers, pre-inspections, or waived contingencies.

🔍 What Changed This Week?

⚡ Speed SURGED

Last week: 59 homes ≤10 days
This week: 70 homes

That’s the highest we’ve seen yet.

This tells us:

• Buyers are watching closely

• When the right home hits, they’re acting immediately

• The “good ones” are not sitting at all

📉 Inventory normalized (but still healthy)

After jumping to 88 new listings last week, we dropped to 71 this week.

That’s not a slowdown — that’s stabilization.

💪 Buyer demand still strong

Even with fewer listings than last week:

• 81 homes went pending

That’s still significantly higher than earlier weeks and shows continued buyer activity.

✂️ Price reductions ticked up

49 price reductions is one of the higher counts we’ve seen.

This reinforces:
👉 Pricing still matters A LOT right now
👉 The market is not forgiving overpricing

🏡 What This Means

Sellers:

More competition is here — but the homes that are priced right and show well are still getting snapped up quickly (sometimes immediately).

Buyers:

You have more options than you did a month ago…
But with 70 homes going under contract in 10 days or less, hesitation can still cost you.
