Bremerton Opportunity

Moody's and Fiserv recently released their forecast of housing prices for 2014.  Topping the list of 384 cities was the Bremerton/Sliverdale area with an expected increase of 44.7%.  With lots of waterfront, water views, and acreage still available, the Kitsap Peninsula might be a great location for your new home.  The lot pictured here with a small older home and two vacant lots across the street afford beautiful views.  Contact us for more information.
