October looks like a good month for Whatcom County real estate, the numbers are up for both price and number of sales over last year and last month. It is a bit out of the norm as you can see from the graph the number of sales usually starts heading down this time of year Interest rates are still at record lows and are expected to remain there fora while longer. Banks are lending money again, if you have good credit and a steady job you can get a loan to buy a home. If you're buying in the county outside the downtown area, you could possibly even get that home with a zero down payment loan.

This first graph shows the Average List price and and Average Sold Price for single family homes in the Blaine & Birch Bay area quarterly from 2005 through the end of the 2nd quarter 2011. It's easy to see the downward trend in selling prices from the 2nd quarter of 2006 until the 2nd quarter of 2009. Since then while the prices still vary significantly from quarter to quarter (some of that is normal seasonal trending) prices seem to be bouncing around in the same range. Thus, selling prices in the Blaine/Birch Bay area appear to have stabilized. Asking prices dropped at a fairly steep rate from the 2nd quarter of 2009 until the 4th quarter of 2010 but look to be recovering since that time. This second graph shows the number of new units coming on the market quarterly, the total number ...
