Statistics are for the Bremerton downtown core and west to Kitsap Lake. The market for other parts of Bremerton and its suburbs should be similar. Bremerton homes were selling for a month end median price of $165,000 at the end of August, about 10% lower than a year ago and down 3% from last month. The more stable 3 month moving average was 9% lower than a year ago.  The Kitsap County 3 month moving average median price has fallen 9% over the past year.  Bremerton's 3 month moving average for number of closed sales is up 11% from a year ago (compared to a Countywide rise of 12%). The 3 month moving average number of Bremerton pending sales is up 46% from last year, but recall this number includes pending short sales that may not close. The number of Bremerton active listings (178) is 31% lower than a year ago. The inventory turnover (total Bremerton homes on the market divided by number sold last month) is 8.2 months (significantly worse than the 4.9 last month but definitely improved from 13.6 months a year ago). The Bremerton market is probably still a buyers market because of shadow inventory that has been pulled off unsold.
