Real Estate prices (both average and median) and the number of monthly homes sold have increased every month since the beginning of 2013. This increasing trend parallels the overall data for Kitsap County as a whole but is even more dramatic on Bainbridge Island. Since the beginning of the year, average home prices have increased 26.4% moving from $463,907 to $586,390. Median home prices have risen a dramatic 39.7% going from $353,000 to $493,000 and monthly sales have increased 62.5%.
Looking ahead to the April data, it appears that the increasing trend will remain intact as there are currently 25 closed sales as of 4/20 but there are currently 77 homes under contract and “Pending Sale”. Given typical closing time cycles, it appears there will be in excess of 43 homes that will be closed sales by the end of April.
