bellingham real estate: Is it a bad time to sell a home in Bellingham? - 11/11/07 04:00 PM
I have been reading the Bellingham Herald for years. Watching the news and listening to people talk about how bad the Bellingham real estate market is. So I thought I would take this opportunity to vent and share some facts.
Here is the bottom line! Bellingham homes are still selling and the average selling prices are up for the year. So where is all of the fear and drama coming from? The biggest problem we have is that there are 3 times the amount of homes on the market compared to 2 years ago.
The secret to selling a home in the … (2 comments)

bellingham real estate: Bellingham Waterfront Land - 07/02/07 12:52 AM
Bellingham waterfront land
Undeveloped Bellingham waterfront land has many uses. The state and city governments are careful to protect much waterfront property for parks and wildlife restoration, thus providing locals with access to beautiful Larrabee State Park, Boulevard Park, Zuanich Park, and Marine Park, just to name a few. Additionally, other equally gorgeous areas are available to make private waterfront property.
Zoned almost entirely for low-density, single-family homes, undeveloped Bellingham waterfront properties are the perfect place to live your dream. Whether building that custom log cabin for your fishing weekends or designing that solar powered, self-sustainable house, starting from undeveloped … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Bellingham Waterfront Condos - 07/02/07 12:48 AM
Bellingham Waterfront condominiums
Bellingham waterfront condominiums are in high demand. Residents of these waterfront condominiums are hesitant to give up 24-hour access to colorful sunsets, rich wildlife, and sparkling water. The combination of a low-maintenance lifestyle and quick access to both nature and the city make Bellingham condominiums some of the most attractive and fastest growing waterfront properties around.
Most of these waterfront condominiums are located on Bellingham Bay between the South Hill neighborhood and Old Fairhaven. Unlike most waterfront properties, these condos are within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities. Lake Whatcom condominiums are located … (0 comments)

Bellingham waterfront property is more desirable than ever. Bellingham Bay, Lake Whatcom, Lake Samish, Squalicum Lake, and dozens of other areas make the dream of Bellingham waterfront property a realistic goal.
Waterfront houses

For over a century, lucky Bellingham residents have been able to raise their families on some of the most beautiful waterfront properties in the world. Many of these boast personal docks, waterslides, and enormous back yards. Some waterfront houses are protected from the rush of the city by large … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Bellingham Acreage - 07/02/07 12:40 AM
Bellingham acreage
Bellingham acreage is easier to find than one might think. While many areas of the city have been developed for over a century, construction in other neighborhoods is just beginning. In these areas of Bellingham, acreage is affordable and a smart purchase.
Houses constructed on Bellingham acreage are quite desirable. The large yards are perfect for impromptu games of baseball, a personal garden, or even for a place to raise horses. While many Bellingham homes are built on relatively large lots, acreage allows for a level of peace and quiet not found in most developed neighborhoods.
Bellingham acreage … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Bellingham Lots and vacant land - 07/02/07 12:38 AM
Bellingham Buidling and Vacant Lots
Bellingham lots, coveted as they are, can still be found in every neighborhood. Whether homeowners are doing their part to prevent sprawl by subdividing their own property or Bellingham's rapid growth demands more borders to grow within (instead of out), available lots can be found north, south, east, west, and center.
To keep the wilderness wild, Bellingham lots (as well as those in most of the country) are getting smaller. However, responsible development and areas of low-density zoning have allowed for some Bellingham neighborhoods to continue the tradition of open space. This leaves the buyer … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Bellingham's York Neighborhood - 07/02/07 12:31 AM
York Neighborhood Bellingham WA
The York District is a classic. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Bellingham, it boasts quality homes, mature landscaping, and a tight-nit community. Located just east of downtown, its nearly 3,000 residents enjoy the most unique parts of Bellingham. The neighborhood dates back to the late 1890’s, with most of the homes being built in the early 20th century. As a result, much of the architecture in the York District has strong Victorian influences.
Though you will undoubtedly find structures created in the last few decades, the neighborhood maintains its distinctive, historical atmosphere. Businesses are scattered throughout … (0 comments)

Western Washington University Neighborhood in Bellingham
Western Washington University (referred to as "WWU" or "Western") is one of five public universities in the state. With 12,000 undergraduates and nearly 1,000 graduate students, the school is large enough to offer many, diverse programs, while still maintaining an intimate atmosphere.

bellingham real estate: Whatcom Falls Neighborhood Bellingham - 07/02/07 12:24 AM
Whatcom Falls Neighborhood Bellingham
The Whatcom Falls neighborhood combines nature and convenience to be one of the best residential neighborhoods in Bellingham. Located on the east side of the city, this low-density area is just a short drive from downtown and several shopping centers.
Not surprisingly, one of the highlights of the neighborhood is Whatcom Falls. Whatcom Creek rushes through the 241-acre Whatcom Falls Park and tumbles over rocks, spraying water at walkers and roaring so loudly you can follow the noise from the parking lot to the waterfall. During the spring and summer, young people can be found jumping off … (2 comments)

bellingham real estate: Sudden Valley Neighborhood Bellingham - 07/02/07 12:19 AM

Sudden Valley is a private community nestled between the shores of Lake Whatcom and the surrounding hills. Practically a town in and of itself, it is still conveniently close to Bellingham and all of the city's amenities.
With a population of 4,000 people and 1,500 acres, one could argue that each resident has just under a third of an acre to his or herself.

The many activities and diversity in house styles help create a desirable, family-friendly … (0 comments)

South Bellingham Neighborhood
The South neighborhood of Bellingham is characterized by space. Located between Edgemoor and Samish, South Bellingham shares the respect for nature and convenience to Fairhaven with each.
One of the most notable features in South Bellingham is Fairhaven Park.

The covered picnic areas and large, open fields make it an ideal destination for group outings.
In the center … (0 comments)

Silver Beach Bellingham
Silver Beach is as lovely as it sounds. On the northern shore of Lake Whatcom and the eastern edge of Bellingham, the area is predominately made up of lavish homes with the affordable gem scattered here and there.
Lake Whatcom is an integral part not only of Silver Beach, but the entire City of Bellingham. It provides the town with drinking water, recreation, and a highly valued piece of nature. At over 12 miles long, much of it is still wild. Boaters, kayakers, and hikers have access to even the least-explored areas of Lake Whatcom. Recently, the … (0 comments)

Sehome Neighborhood Bellingham Washington
The Sehome neighborhood is just north of Western Washington University, providing housing and services to students and non-students alike. Most notable in the neighborhood are Sehome Hill Arboretum, the outlying commercial areas, and the diverse selection of homes.
Western Washington University and the City of Bellingham jointly own and maintain Sehome Hill Arboretum. It is a 180-acre natural forest habitat that provides space for wildlife, hikers, and folks who simply want to surround themselves in the beautiful nature oasis. Anyone can explore the 5+ miles of winding trails, and many find that a walk through the … (0 comments)

Puget Neighborhood Bellingham Washington
Puget may be the place to live if you don't want to leave your neighborhood for anything. With stores, services, jobs, schools, and homes, the Puget neighborhood provides residents with everything they need. (Of course, it's also next to I-5, just in case you need to leave the area for same strange reason.)
Puget and Toledo Hills provide great views of Bellingham Bay, the Canadian Cascades, and the rest of town. Most of this area is already developed with single-family houses on medium sized lots. These are desirable homes, as they are well-landscaped and maintained.
