There’s a growing buzz around Port Orchard in Kitsap County

Posted by David Edwards under For Buyers, Regional - West, Regional News, Port Orchard, Neighborhood Profiles

Kitsap County’s City of Port Orchard and the Manchester neighborhood within Port Orchard have been the focus of two recent articles published in the Seattle Times.

The first article was written by Cindy Jones as a special to The Seattle Times on Saturday, September 29^th 2007. The article was published on the front page of the real estate section and discussed a growing interest among buyers interested in homes with waterfront or water views available in the small community of Manchester.

Cindy Jones describes the area best… “Just across the Sound — that sparkling stretch of water that blesses the community with spectacular views — lies a city teeming with well-heeled dwellers looking for escape.”

She’s right. Many waterfront homes in Port Orchard’s Manchester community either sit on the Puget Sound or absorb panoramic views of Bainbridge Island, downtown Seattle and West Seattle from the hills that have come to define the coastline.

In spite of the growing demand for waterfront property in the area, few owners seem willing to relinquish their homes. The Seattle Times reported that there were fewer than 100 homes on the market at the time they published their article. I ran a report on November 6th using Northwest MLS data and found as few as 53 listings. Only four were waterfront. These statistics were not compiled or published by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

If you would like to read the full story found online at The Seattle Times, feel free to do so by clicking here.

The second article was also written by Cindy Jones as a special to The Seattle Times on Sunday, November 4^th, 2007. It crowned Port Orchard, with its 8,350 residents, as the Seattle Times, Neighborhood of the Week.

According to Cindy Jones, “…waterfront homes cost from about $700,000 to $1 million.”

The full story can be found online at The Seattle Times by clicking here.
