2022 Year-in-Review Market Insider: Stanwood & Camano Island, WA

Good news. bad news… Good news is I now have the 2022 Year-In-Review available to you! Bad news is it is a bit late. Some of you may know, I recently had a baby, so I can blame this one on pregnancy brain. 😉

Even better news is the market was not great at the beginning of January, so in hindsight, I have saved you all from dreary news. Doing the 2022 Year-In-Review this time was encouraging as I am able to show you how the market has done since then… a little extra statistic is always exciting! I do not usually share the charts below, as you can watch them real time at Local Market Statistics – Stanwood & Camano Living (kenzierealty.com), so I hope you appreciate this is a unique Year-in-Review post!

Below are charts showing what has happened to the market since the new year!

As you may recall from previous posts, I mentioned the fourth quarter is the best time to buy a home. Washington’s cold winters bring less buyers, less competition, yet less homes to choose from. Assuming you are okay with less inventory, this is a great time to find a great deal! Most sellers are motivated over the holiday season, so finding the motivated sellers is a bit of a research project, but very possible!

As you can see, the winter months had a significant downward trend on Camano Island, WA and in Stanwood, WA. Prices were at their lowest in Stanwood, WA in January and December on Camano Island, WA. Many sellers reduced their prices to find a buyer during the slow season and interest rate adjustments. Heightened interest rates resulted in buyers having to adjust their price ranges/expectations and sellers trying to accommodate prices for the rate changes.

With Spring here, we have already seen an uptick in the market, new listings to choose from, higher price points and more buyers. Statistically speaking, this should continue through the Summer to a heightened level for all of these until September, however every year varies slightly.

I am back to work, have wonderful support and welcome your call/text or email for new listings and buyers. Sharing my passion of selling real estate does not end with a new one in my home, just changes my response time. from 2 hours to 4 hours 😉 I appreciate your understanding on this front and hope to have an opportunity to earn your business. 😉

Sincerely,
Kenzie Kipper, SRES, ABR, PME

Kenzie is fantastic!!! When we bought our home on Camano Island she went above and beyond at every turn. For every question we had, she provided or got us an immediate answer. She got to know us and exactly what we were looking for in our next home. We got all we wanted and more. If I were buying or selling a home, I would refuse to work with anyone other than Kenzie. She is passionate about the happiness of her customers and ensures everything goes as it should. Kenzie is the best in the business and you should contact her for your real estate needs!!!

We had an excellent experience with Kenzie Kipper, she is very knowledgeable with the current Stanwood / Camano Island market. I would highly recommend Kenzie if you are buying or selling a home in the growing community of Stanwood!

We would like to recommend Kenzie Kipper as your next Real Estate Agent for all the expected reasons...professional and yet personal, hard working, knowledgeable, and efficient. What goes beyond those amazing qualities is that she respected our love for the home we were selling and marketed it to the qualities that we love. To us, it wasn't just a building to live in but a home that we loved and were parting with. She understood and honored that. Thank you, Kenzie. It was wonderful to work with you.

Kenzie focuses on the best value for your home. She is relentless when it comes to finding a qualified buyer. A friend of mine recommended her to me about 12 years ago. She has been my realtor ever since.

I had a great experience with Kenzie and highly recommend her services. She did a great job of marketing my property and ultimately got full asking price. The transaction went smoothly and both the buyers and the seller went away happy.

Kenzie is amazing! She takes pride in what she does and it shows. Kenzie helped my husband and I find our dream home. She is on top of every stage of the purchasing process. We received weekly emails of listing that matched what we were looking for. She was available every time we needed her. From showings, to questions about the property. If you are looking for a Real Estate Professional that is just that, professional. Kenzie is the person you want! Thank you so much for helping our family find our home!

Kenzie is absolutely great, very flexible and willing to help in any way possible. She found homes that were within my budget and met the needs and wants of what I was looking for. She made every effort too accommodate exactly what I was looking for. Knowledgeable and friendly, she fostered an extremely low stress process and was willing to put in extra time to help in any way she could.

We recently purchased our first home. My husband and I had 2 completely different views on what would work for our family on our budget. She showed us homes that would be a good compromise for the both of us. She made the whole process enjoyable.

Kenzie is awesome. The negotiations with the seller were frustrating and they didn't want to budge. We gave up hope on the sale and Kenzie surprised us by working out a deal with the seller that worked for both of us. I recommend Kenzie Kipper without hesitation.

Kenzie was a pleasure to work with and made the whole experience truly enjoyable! We were first time home buyers on a limited budget. Kenzie very quickly figured out what we were looking for and helped us find it in our limited time frame. During the negotiation process it was such a relief to know that I had Kenzie on my side, she got us what we wanted within our budget. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered most of our questions before we ever had to ask them. She was willing to show us every home we wanted to see and was always upbeat and friendly. Her response to any questions we had by phone or email was almost immediate. We look forward to using Kenzie again when we purchase our next home!
