Bellingham Washington's Luxury Home Market

08-04-10

Having experienced quite a large amount of qualified buyers in the luxury home market, I began to wonder how this area of the market has fared through these economic times. At a detailed look, Bellingham's luxury home market has proved to stand strong through the economic turn. Having actually showed an increase in home sales, an increase in sales price, and a decrease in days on market.

Comparatively for August 2008 to August 2009, 16 homes priced $900,000 and above were sold. Average days on market were 307 with an average sales price of $1,174,844

From August 2009 to August 2010 there were 22 luxury home sales. Average days on market decreased to 225 and average sales price increased to $1,214,510. Showing homes in this price range selling at approximately 93% of list price, also an increase from the prior year.

It is no surprise that Bellingham, WAis showing an increase in luxury home sales. With many of the luxury homes either boasting a breathtaking ocean view or Lake Whatcom frontage, Bellingham is a glorious place to call home and considerably less expensive than many water view homes you'd find in the Seattle area, just south of Bellingham.

Bellingham's luxury home market is sure to continue on it's growth path.

Testimonials

Scott Henken

I met a lot of agents when my house was a FSBO (for sale by owner). It semmed that everyone was pounding on my door wanting the listing. I was really turned off with the "big ego" I saw with a lot of the agents I talked to. I also didn't like the "pushy salesman." Amy was neither of these. She was very polite, professional, confident, and projected a positive, optomistic attitude. Keep up the good work.

Ron & Manana Rehon

Amy did a great job of assisting us with the purchase of our home. She was very patient and knowledgable. She made the experience very painless. We do reccomend her to others that we know.

Nova George

First time home buyer Nova George: "Amy was a great real estate consultant. She answered our questions in a very professional manner and returned our calls promplty. She was always available and very easy to reach. Thank you for all your help, you made our first purchasing experience very good."

Jerry & Gretchen DeBeor

When we purchased our last home we did not feel like we had anyone on our side. In fact it felt like our agent just wanted the sale. Unfortunately that put a bad taste in our mouth. When we found Amy we were so suprised to find someone who actually cared about closing that transaction and creating a friendship at the same time. She worked very hard to make sure that all of our needs were met, while still facilitating the closing to happen on time. We have now met our realtor for life!
