Bainbridge Island Real Estate Market Report: July 2020

is this a record seller's market?

In 2018-2019, Bainbridge home sales saw a slowdown in multiple offers. The needle was moving more towards a balanced market of 4 to 6 months of supply. Buyers didn't always have to waive multiple contingencies to compete. Purchase decisions could be made with time and thoughtfulness.

But COVID-19 has put increased demand on housing on Bainbridge Island. July 2020 saw just 1.3 Months of Supply, just barely above the record-low 1.1 seen last month, and previously in June 2015. And while the 64 new listings (supply) was up MOM and an increase over the 3-year average,  the 57 pending sales was the highest this metric of demand has been since May of 2017. For homes that are positioned properly, sellers are seeing dozens of showings in the first few days on the market. It's not unheard of now to see upwards of 10 offers on unique properties. For buyers, that means it's just like the frenzy of a few years ago where waiving all contingencies is the name of the game.

The data is clear: we are witnessing a phenomenal seller's market.
