Silverdale WA Real Estate

A mere 40 years ago, Silverdale WA real estate was not considered desirable by local area residents unless they were looking for a farm or a quiet, rural home. Back then, Silverdale boasted one traffic light and one restaurant. Today, Silverdale real estate owners live at the center of retail activity in Kitsap County and enjoy consistent gains in home equity appreciation.

Silverdale real estate owners are surrounded by water, immense evergreen trees and spectacular mountain views. The physical beauty of Silverdale and it's convenient location, both add to the list of reasons Silverdale WA real estate was included in CNNMoney Magazine's Top 100 Places to Live in America in June of 2007.

Silverdale WA Real Estate is Stable

The Bangor Trident Submarine Base creates a stabilizing influence on the Silverdale Real Estate market. The Kitsap Mall attracts homeowners looking for the charm of small town living coupled with the convenience of access to national retail chains. Starbucks, Macy's, Barnes and Noble Booksellers and many other large retailers have taken up residence in the Kitsap Mall and surrounding area. Yet, Old Town Silverdale maintains its character and continues to be popular with Silverdale residents, small business owners and mothers wishing to take their small children to a beautiful park for an afternoon playtime.

Silverdale WA real estate has seen significant gains in property values in recent years as the area was "discovered", and then caught up with national real estate value trends. Many Silverdale real estate properties doubled and tripled in value in a short five years. The debate continues to rage over whether the increase was over-pricing or simply a market correction to an area that had fallen behind the economic curve. In either case, Silverdale Real Estate owners have benefited.

Central Kitsap Public Schools have gained national recognition for excellence. This also contributes to the value of properties for Silverdale real estate owners. A strong school district is one of the first things new families look for when relocating. Low crime rates, low unemployment rates, convenient shopping and plenty of entertainment options are other factors new homeowners and relocating military families want to see in their home towns.

The scenic beauty along each of these routes rivals any in the nation. Head west from your Silverdale home and you will find the quiet waterfront community of Seabeck.
