Kitsap County Housing Market Trends

Last Updated: March 2025


Key Insights (Year Over Year)

While the Kitsap County real estate market is cooling slightly, it remains seller-favored.

Fewer homes are hitting the market, keeping inventory tight.

  • New listings are down 15.7% compared to last year, meaning buyers have fewer options.
  • With only 1.4 months of inventory, the market remains in seller’s market territory (a balanced market typically has 4-6 months of supply).

Home prices are holding steady—sellers still have the upper hand.

  • The median sales price is up 3% to $535,000, and sellers are receiving 99.8% of their asking price on average.
  • While demand has softened slightly, well-priced homes continue to sell near asking price.

Homes are taking a little longer to sell, but buyers are still active.

  • Homes are spending 49 days on the market on average—slightly longer than last year.
  • Buyers are taking a more measured approach, with steady showing activity before homes go under contract.

Sellers still have an advantage, but strategy matters.

  • While it’s still a seller’s market, buyers are more selective, making home presentation and pricing more important than ever.
  • Homes that are priced too high or not well-prepared may sit longer and require price reductions.

Buyers have a bit more negotiating power but must be prepared.

  • With fewer bidding wars, buyers have more choice and a better chance at negotiating.
  • However, the best homes are still moving quickly, so buyers need to be pre-approved and ready to act when they find the right home.

The market is shifting, demanding a more calculated approach.

  • Sellers: Competitive pricing and great presentation are key to selling faster and closer to asking price.
  • Buyers: While there’s more breathing room, hesitation can mean missing out on a great home.
  • Investors: Low inventory continues to support strong rental demand, but careful selection is crucial as the market shifts.
