Bainbridge Island Real Estate Market Report: 2019 Year in Review
bainbridge island real estate: 2019 Year in review
Prices
2019 was the second consecutive year that the average home sale price on Bainbridge Island was in the 7-figures, though the growth was negligible for a relatively flat year-over-year change. The "slowdown" you're hearing about in the news is that home values are not appreciating at 8-10% year over year, but that was unsustainable anyway.
Multiple Offers
The most dramatic shift, in my opinion, in the Bainbridge Island real estate market was that "just" 25% of homes sold for at/above asking price in 7 days or less. This number is about half of what we saw in the frenzy of 2015-2017, so the pace of activity is certainly much more balanced than we saw back then.
Dynamics
Buyers have become more discerning with their offer price in light of news articles talking about a softening market, while sellers still feel their values are high and they should be able to command top dollar. Interestingly, both sides have a valid argument, and we move forward to negotiate and find a middle ground.
