Bremeton Real Estate – Seller’s Market, lack of inventory frustrates buyers. Bremerton is like all of the other areas with pent-up demand fueling home sales.  Military families, relocating PSNS workers, move up buyers and first time home buyers are all vying for limited inventory.  It is currently a seller’s market with well maintained, updated, correctly priced homes receiving offers within days.  Inventory is very low with only 2 months of supply.  If no other homes entered into the market we would be out of homes for sale in a 2 month time span.  It’s a great time to list a property in Bremerton.Bremerton reported 102 closed sales during August, which was shy of the 123 homes sold in August 2014.Small increases in interest rates have not had a noticeable impact on activity and with t... 09/18/2015

With Spring just around the corner and day light saving time in full force it won’t be long before we start spending a lot of time outdoors.  We will be gardening, BBQ’ing and for some the ever popular “fire-pitting”.  Grab some friends, family or neighbors throw some logs in a pit and sit around the glow of the flame sipping your drink of choice in your very own backyard. The fire-pit is a phenomenon.  You can build one yourself, get a plan at a local lumber yard or buy one that is pre-made from Lowe’s.   This morning Lowe’s Facebook page posted a link to their Pinterest Pin on their  Outside Your Home board showing how to build your own fire-pit.  http://www.pinterest.com/pin/101190322851812588/ Do you know if your fire-pit is legal?  Where do you live?  If you live in Kitsap County y... 03/14/2014

  March 5, 2014 by Jo Soss  This morning while doing some market research for a client I received a phone call from Zillow.  These calls come in from time to time when some other agent decides to stop paying Zillow for some advertising product.  Today it was that zip code 98312 became available for purchase.  My office is in 98312 and I live in 98312 so you would think I would “jump” at the chance to purchase a spot on the Zillow website for zip code 98312. Nope, I politely declined.  Then I started to wonder, why was the other agent giving up the spot in 98312?  Probably because the return on investment just wasn’t what they thought it would be.  I very rarely pay for ads and at the moment I am not paying for any advertisement on Zillow or Trulia.  I don’t think I have ever paid for ad... 03/07/2014

  DO A “DRIVE BY”! WHAT EVERY BUYER NEEDS TO KNOW – KITSAP REAL ESTATE February 13, 2014 by Jo Soss  You have found the perfect house, you want to make an offer, you have seen it in the early afternoon for about 20-30 minutes.  Do you write an offer or do you do a “drive by”? I encourage ALL of my buyers to drive by the property they want to purchase at different times of the day/night prior to writing a purchase and sale agreement.  Our Form 35 – Inspection Addendum does have a section titled Neighborhood Review Contingency that gives the buyer the opportunity to review all areas of the neighborhood during an agreed upon time frame which is usually 3 days from mutual acceptance.  Of course you can use this to preform your due diligence on the neighborhood, but from my experience by the... 02/13/2014

  January 21, 2014 by Jo Soss   We can FINALLY look back and see the peak and the bust.  The figures are not pretty and we still have a long way to go, but its nice to see what really happened instead of reading all the speculation.

It can be identified through rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels and then decline. … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_estate_bubble  The Bremerton Real Estate Bubble was identifiable due to the rapid increase in housing prices and yet it can only be definitively measured  in hindsight after we had the market correction.  So wh... 01/21/2014

  I want to thank all of those who are showing what it is to be a Patriot today, in Boston and beyond. We tend to not think about those who serve us during tragedies, until we find ourselves in the midst of them.     My heartfelt thanks goes out to those who are working at break neck speeds to help as many victims as possible today, knowing in their hearts that the next person they help, may or may not be a loved one.     These people are true Patriots and embody what we as Americans, aspire to be. Thank you!     04/15/2013
