If you look at the graph you can see that the residential market prices are on an overall downward trend but up a bit the past few months. Look forward to next moths report as the last closings taking place before the tax credit expires get reported.
Meanwhile interest rates are still extremely 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.
