Looks like the prices are up from last year but down from last month,but it looks like an overall downward trend. Condos on the other hand seem to be surprisingly trending up. (I think 2 condo sales close to $1,000,000 each skewed the average.)
There is still a First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Available through a program called the Mortgage Credit Certification.It is a Tax Credit paid on Mortgage interest.
Interest rates are at an all time low and there are some great values in the Bellingham market right now. You might want to take a look at what it would cost you to purchase one of these homes at today’s rates. You might be surprised at what your monthly payments would be, maybe less than your paying for rent right now if you are renting a comparable sized house.
