Market uptick means lost buying power and lost opportunity for buyers

Just this month a buyers buying power has gone down by $31,000 just because of the jump in interest rates.
Kitsap County real estate is picking up. Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island and Silverdale are all markets that are seeing a reduction in inventory and multiple offer situations on newly listed homes. Buyers today need to be ready to make an offer when they find a home they like.
