Weekly Review of Bellingham’s Real Estate Market 2/10/08 - 2/16/08

This week in Bellingham, 23 new homes were listed with an average price of $400,143 and a median price of $319,500. It appears as though the level of new inventory has stabilized in Bellingham. Over the last several weeks the number of homes coming on the market has been rising. A healthy market in Bellingham can absorb 20 new listings weekly, but when that number gets pushed to 30 and beyond the market runs the risk of over saturation.

In regard to the Bellingham foreclosure watch, 2 foreclosure homes did come on the market this week. Bellingham has been averaging 1 foreclosure a week since the beginning of 2008. While foreclosures are not good, an average of one foreclosure a week…

Good Signs in January for Bellingham’s Real Estate Market

Overall, it was a pretty good month in Bellingham. The total number of sales was down from the Jan 2007 total of 77 to 59 in Jan 2008. The drop in closed sales was due to the slow market in Dec 2007. However, I imagine that we will see total sales really pick up in February due to the activity that we have experienced this January.

This Week in Real Estate... Bellingham, WA

This week in real estate we experienced something that we haven’t seen in while and that was interest rates back around 5%. I was really interested to see how that affected our real estate market in Bellingham this week because it seemed like business was very busy. It turns out that homes sales didn’t necessarily increase, but the number of people that refinanced their homes went through the roof. Although, I think that the low interest rates probably a lot of people realizing how good of a time it is to buy a home.
