Market Trends From Around The Sound: Q4-2023
The final quarter of 2023 presented a market that has weathered continual challenges throughout the past two years. In October, mortgage rates peaked, hitting their highest in over two decades. Although they proceeded to decline, finally dipping below 6 percent, sellers were hesitant to list their homes and lose their lower interest rates, particularly those who took advantage of the record lows seen in January 2021. Buyers were similarly discouraged by high rates and the lack of inventory. However, despite the obstacles, those who were determined to find their dream home were rewarded with less competition and more negotiation power.

Bainbridge Island’s real estate market snapshot looks better than many in the Seattle area. Home prices are up over 30% compared to last January, and the current average home price of $1.8M is even up compared to last month. With continued home price growth and low inventory, sellers can get a great return on their home even in a market that is somewhat buyer-scarce due to high-interest rates and other economic factors, especially with an experienced real estate agent on your side!
