Keller Williams Realty: Bellingham Washington, Real Estate And Mortgages
By:
Published: August 14, 2007
Bellingham, Washington, boasts lush forests, majestic mountains, and tranquil lakes. It is cradled in the arms of Mt. Baker, an ice-clad volcano that turns into a popular ski area for locals and visitors during winter months. About an hour north from Seattle and another hour south from Vancouver, British Columbia, Bellingham is not just a mile post on the I-5 Highway, but also a down-to-earth, friendly community dubbed "City of Subdued Excitement" by locals decades ago.
The City of Bellingham has approximately 74,000 inhabitants, and with the surrounding Whatcom County totals in about 180,000 people.
Bellingham has seen a steady influx of people in the past ten years, and especially in the past five years the local housing market has witnessed the increased desirability of the area. Bellingham property values have risen steadily, becoming one of the high-end Washington real estate areas in the Pacific Northwest, close behind to the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area.
Keller WIlliams Realty is one of the many real estate companies in Bellingham who can help people to find that perfect house and the right banker and mortgage. Keller Williams Realty, Inc., was founded in 1983 and became the fourth largest U.S. residential real estate firm in 2006. The Bellingham office of Keller WIlliams Realty has 95 real estate agents, many of whom have been with Keller WIlliams Realty for many years. Before acquiring an agent, potential customers can research properties through the Bellingham Keller WIlliams Realty website at kwbellingham.com. Keller Williams Realty is one of the few companies that lists their properties online instead of in the Sunday paper.
Most properties in Bellingham are single family houses. A single family house averages around $350K, and a condominium around $200K. Depending on location, the prices can vary greatly. For example, condominiums in the historic Fairhaven in South side of town range from $500K to $1 million. Fairhaven, which used to be its own township and was incorporated with Bellingham in 1904, has become an upscale center of boutiques and restaurants, which combined with breathtaking ocean views has made Fairhaven one of the highly sought after areas for people with disposable income.
The areas north of Bellingham in Whatcom County, the towns of Ferndale, Lynden, and Blaine, as well as the County area northeast of Bellingham along the Nooksack River are also seeing an increase in people moving in. Property prices are slightly lower in these areas than in Bellingham proper, but a rise in house prices has been evident here as well. North county single family home averages at $330K, and in East county the average is $200K.
Keller Williams Realty represents the entire Whatcom County. Most agents in the Keller Williams Realty Bellingham office know the community and the local market. Keller Williams Realty has a solid reputation in and around Bellingham, and Bellingham is still a small, close-knit community where word of mouth still works. Keller Williams Realty takes good care of their clients, and for people embarking on the road towards finding the perfect home, Keller Williams Realty would be the best place to start.
