Just got this blurb from some agents out there in Jefferson County:
“Jefferson County current Real Estate sales have increased 28% since 2014 with prices staying stable.”
Having the real estate market stabilize in lovely Jefferson County is particularly pleasing to me. The economy out there has been slower to recover. Now, the economy out there isn’t as vibrant, thus not as volatile. But the collapse of the timber industry really hurt things. That’s been the bigger driver for that area than the real estate bubble crash.
I love Port Townsend and it’s Victorian architecture. Plus, it’s quirky charm and the characters who call it home. You can get bumper stickers that say “We’re here because we’re not all there: Port Townsend”. That ready should sum the place up.
