Get the facts
Tired of relying on "experts" to tell you whether the market is "good" or "bad". Below are the numbers straight from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. This is all Whatcom County single family homes listed and sold throught the MLS (the multiple listing system real estate agents use).
So look for yourself, the numbers don't lie. If you'd like specific data on any area in Washington State, or condo's, Bellingham, Birch Bay, new construction, homes less than 1,000 square feet, etc., just let me know. I have all of it at my finger tips and I'm happy to share.
Any real estate needs at all, call any time, thanks,
