There is a very strong home sales market in Seattle these days. And as people are fond of saying: "Bellingham is usually about 3 months behind Seattle." So Bellingham should have an upsurge in sales in a month or two.
The graph below shows homes for sale, pended, and sold in Seattle through February. Notice the
big upswing in pending sales in February. Pendings in February are 29% of all homes for sale. That is a very active market.
In comparison, the graph below shows homes for sale, pended, and sold in Bellingham through February. Notice the upswing in pending sales in February--not as big as in Seattle, but still considerable. Pendings in February are 18% of all homes for sale. Though not as strong as Seattle, it is very promising.
