Our Retrospect for Real Estate in Whatcom County / Bellingham Washington - 11/29/06 09:12 PM
2006 Real Estate Predictions - Updated
Last December we looked at the Whatcom County real estate market and saw rising inventories, strong pending sales and slight declines in interest rates. Looking ahead through our crystal ball we saw a "strong, rising market, particularly in those areas where average prices are currently lower. Price appreciation closer to 15%, most of it coming in the lower ranges. Interest rates rising, but less than in 2005." Well, we can't always be right.
Looking back from the vantage of sales activity in residential and condominiums across the County through the 3rd quarter, we see an increase in … (0 comments)

"Fun Stuff" from Whatcom County Washington - 11/28/06 12:36 AM
We are in the middle of a snow storm here in Western Washington. For you folks back East this is probably a walk in the park to you but for us out West, 15" of snow, blow'n northeast with temperatures in the low 20's is more than enough to get our attention.
We have posted a virtual tour of "Snow Photos", have e-mailed the link to our data base & asked them to share any photos they have taken of the storm with us so that we can post them to the virual tour. You can see the tour at www.HomeDebut.com/317901

Follow-Up to "A Great Marketing Idea" - 11/28/06 12:25 AM
I'm new to this so I probably didn't understand who to reply to but someone e-mailed me & wondered how much the moving truck cost. Since I'm not sure to whom to reply, I'll broadcast it to the world.......................
We have leased the truck from "On the Move". With insurance it costs us $876.00 / month. "On the Move" has a web site @ http://www.onthemovetrucks.com/.
If you access our web site @ www.JohnsonTeamRealEstate.com you'll see that we advertize the truck throughout the site.
If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help you any way that I can.
By the way if there … (0 comments)

A Great Marketing Idea - 11/27/06 04:59 PM
We have recently purchased a moving truck that we make available to our clients & to non-profit organizations. It's on the road constantly. We ask the people using it to provide us with "Fun Photos" of them using it - warning them of course that we use the photos in our marketing & that it may show up where / when they least expect it. Fawn & Nickie put these photos into a hat each month & have a drawing - the winner gets a free lunch.
You can access photos of the truck at http://www.bellinghammovingtruck.com/
I'd be curious to know of … (4 comments)
