Kitsap County Weekly Housing Market Update: Oct 6-12, 2025
This week’s Kitsap County Housing Market Stats show a clear cooldown compared to last week, but don’t let the numbers fool you, it’s not necessarily bad news. Active listings dropped from 81 to 72, meaning fewer homes are currently available. Both pending inspections and pending sales saw a dip as well, going from 55 to 31 and 35 to 20, respectively. This tells us that buyer activity has slowed a bit, which is common as we transition further into fall when the market typically takes a breather.
Gig Harbor Home Sale Success Story | Sold Above List Price in 2 Days
Every sale has a story, and some of my favorite ones are the “full circle” moments. Eleven years ago, I sold this very home to my client and his wife. Back then, it was the house where they planned to build their future, create memories, and enjoy the comfort of homeownership. Fast forward more than a decade later, and life was shifting again. His wife had passed, he was looking forward to retirement, and Montana was calling his name.
Pierce County Weekly Housing Market Update: Sep 22-28, 2025
This week’s Pierce County Housing Market Stats brought a little more movement compared to last week, with several categories showing shifts worth watching. Active listings dropped from 270 to 242, meaning there are fewer homes on the market for buyers to choose from. At the same time, pending inspections jumped from 125 to 142, and pending sales increased from 82 to 88. That uptick in pendings shows buyer activity is alive and well, even with fewer homes available.

Welcome back to this week’s Kitsap Housing Market Update for the week of September 22-28, 2025, your go-to guide for staying in the know about what’s really happening in our local real estate world. This week’s Kitsap County Housing Market Stats show that things are holding steady compared to last week, with only a few small shifts worth noting. Active listings dipped slightly from 84 down to 81, which means a few less options for buyers browsing the market. Everything else, pending inspection, pending sales, sold homes, and contingent properties, remained exactly the same as last week, which is a good sign of stability in our local market.

Today, I’m lifting the curtain on how a seasoned real estate broker thinks about pricing. Beyond the normal “pull three comps and call it a day” routine.

And yes, we’re going to talk about the emotions that make smart sellers do… less smart things.
Pierce County Weekly Housing Market Update: Sep 15-21, 2025
Reading my weekly market stats is like skimming the dashboard before you hit the gas. Active listings are everything currently for sale, your real-time inventory. If actives climb week over week, buyers have more choice and sellers may need sharper pricing; if they fall, expect tighter competition. Pending inspection means a buyer and seller have agreed on price and terms, but the home still has to survive the inspector’s flashlight. Think “under contract, not out of the woods.” Pending (no inspection left) has cleared major hurdles and is marching toward closing; rising pendings signal fresh demand right now, not last month.
