Bellingham home sales were up 32 from last august, and down 9% in price from last year and last month.
The number of homes sold is still climbing, while it has declined for the county as a whole.
I am guessing the number of sales will be down in September, tough to predict price movement though.
Interest rates are heading up, so now may just be the best time to buy, while they are still under 5%.
As rates go up your buying power goes down, so you can not afford as much home.
The best advice still if you want to get your house to sell quickly is to set the price right from the start.
The homes that sell the fastest are the ones that are priced right out of the gate and are in good condition, a good location always helps.
If your looking to buy, have your pre-approval ready before you can make an offer on that home you really want. If your dream home is relatively new to the market be ready to pay full price, maybe even a bit more as the low number of homes for sale, and hungry buyers eager to get a new home is bringing multiple offer situations back to the market.
Let’s talk about where the market is headed. Is it better to rent or own?
