Poulsbo Home Sales & Prices February 2013 & 18 Months Prior
The Poulsbo Real Estate Market held steady from January to February 2013, with only a slight decrease in the number of Homes Sold from 22 to 21, but had nearly the same Median Selling Price of $310,464 and a $14K increase in the Average Selling Price to $292,997.
The previous month had an average selling price of $278,113 and a median selling price of $310,000, so as you can see the Median data is extremely similar.
Distressed properties during February accounted for only 9.5% of Home Sales in Poulsbo. This is a very low percentage and a significantly lower number than in January when distressed sales (Short Sales & Bank Owned REO’s) comprised nearly 28% of the total number of homes sold. It is impressive to see on the graph, that even while the number of homes sold decreased during the normal seasonal slowdown, home prices have remained firm. As we emerge from the Winter slow-down and wake up to Spring, Poulsbo Real Estate is doing well, sales are increasing and prices are strengthening.

In Poulsbo we are currently experiencing a shortage of move-in ready homes available for sale priced below $240,000. When these properties do come onto the market, we see them go under contract very quickly. So if you are a Buyer looking in this range, you would improve your chances of being the successful buyer by letting us know in advance so we can keep a watch on the market for you in real time.
Looking ahead, there is a lot of new construction activity ramping up in Poulsbo from builders; with the majority being planned and built by Quadrant Homes, Highmark Homes, Capstone Homes & Phase II, LLC.
If you are considering a new home purchase, we would be pleased to assist you and work for you as your Buyer Broker guiding and advising you through the home purchase process.
