Statistics here are for Kingston, the largest housing market in North Kitsap. Activity in Kingston should be representative of the other areas in North Kitsap. Kingston homes were selling for a month end median price of about $239,000 at the end of June, 14% lower than a year ago. The more stable 3 month moving average ($256,348) of closed sale prices is down 33% compared to a year ago. The Kitsap County 3 month moving average median price is 2% lower than it was a year ago. The 3 month moving average number of Kingston closed sales rose 250% from a year ago, while the number of pending sales is up 33% from a year ago.

Kingston is still a buyer's market. 

These statistics are for Poulsbo, including the downtown core, from the head of Liberty Bay southeast to Ne-Si-Ka Bay, and parts north to Sawdust Hill Rd. Other parts of Poulsbo and its suburbs should have similar trends. The June median sales price for Poulsbo was $359,500, up about 24% from a year ago. This rise in price reflects a change in the distribution of sales rather than an increase in all market closed sale prices. With expiration of the homebuyer tax credit, fewer first time buyers are in the market, while the low interest rates are still attracting move up and downsizing buyers who want to move in the summer. The more stable three month moving average closed sale price was $320,529, about 1% higher than a year ago.The Kitsap County 3 month moving average median price is 2% lower than it was a year ago.  The 3 month moving average number of closed sales in Poulsbo fell 6% from a year ago.

The inventory turnover (total homes on the market divided by number sold last month) is 6.4 months, worse than the 5.7 months reported last month. Poulsbo is still a buyer’s market.
