Whidbey Island Real Estate Market Update 12/27/2011

As we approach the end of 2011, we wanted to give you a Whidbey Island Real Estate update. Since we are still in December, the final results won't be available  to be posted for a few weeks, but I thought I would give you a taste of the real estate market here on beautiful Whidbey Island.  I will show you a snapshot of total sales and median prices for the three areas of Whidbey Island; North, Middle, and South.  In my next post I will include graphs and explanations for the total 2011 sales.

• North Whidbey Island, which includes every sale north of Libbey Rd, was down both in total transactions and median sales price. Sales were down approximately 6% from 2010 and the median sales prices was down approximately 5%.
• Central Whidbey Island saw a year where the sales increased approximately 6% but the  median sales price remained about the same as 2010.
• South Whidbey Island experienced an increase in sales of approximately 1.5% but declined in median sales price of close to 13%.

As we have always been told, real estate is very local. These few statistics only give a snapshot of the overall market in these areas. Individual homes and locations can vary by quite a large differential. Your Coldwell Banker Koetje Real Estate professional can help you with your particular property's value and ability to be sold. I will be posting a much more in-depth Whidbey Island Real Estate market report in a few weeks.
