As of May 16, 2009 Bainbridge Island had 270 residential listings; 30 of which were under contract giving us an 11% listing/pending ratio. Last month, on April 15th, Bainbridge had 252 residential listings with 33 homes under contract for a 13% listing/pending ratio.
Our most active segment of the market is in the $300k-$400k price range. 32% of homes in this price range are under contract. One of the reasons so many homes sell in this range is the availability of money at low interest rates for loans up to $417k. Loans in this range are much easier to qualify for than larger (jumbo) loans and come with historically low interest rates.
Need another incentive? For the next several months, first time home buyers may qualify for up to an $8000 home buyer credit.
