Here’s a quick look at the Bellingham Real Estate Market Report for November 2022 for residential home sales.
The number of residential sales for the month was 52 which is down 32 from November 2021 and down 10 from last month.

The average sales price of $758,919 is up 5% compared to last November and up 9% compared to last month. The market is changing pretty rapidly, interest rates are still high.

There is now less than 1 months’ worth of inventory on the market, (if no new homes came on the market and the sales rate was the same as it is today, they would all be sold in 1 month).   The number is still pretty small relative to years past.

There is still not much new construction in single-family homes.

Inventory is still relatively low. There are 131 homes and 41 condos and 9 manufactured homes in parks, for sale in Bellingham a city of almost 94,000 people, on the day I write this. There are 5 homes on the market under $400,00 and as of today, the least expensive is $338,900 for a house that was damaged by a fire and marketed as the “value is mostly in the land,” it is on a busy street in the Roosevelt neighborhood.

I believe the market will stay strong here in Bellingham, it still is right now.

Interest rates are rising again, bringing potential changes to the market. There is still a shortage of homes for sale but it is improving. There is still a lack of new construction homes. The economy is good here, and so is the weather (Compared to other parts of the country.) This all adds up to increasing prices in my mind.

Buyers, get a pre-approval letter from your lender ready to submit along with your offer if you are in a competitive market that may change soon.

If you don’t have it yet, start gathering the documents you will need to get one, which is usually 2 years of tax returns and 2 or 3 months of pay stubs. Check with your preferred lender or let me know if you need a recommendation for a good lender.
