&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The Sudden Valley Market has seen fewer new home listings in 09' compared to 08', this is most likely a result of sellers holding off on putting their property on the market in hopes of the market improving, however,&amp;nbsp;Sudden Valley has&amp;nbsp;seen a decline of about 8.5% in home values since 08'.&amp;nbsp; If you're looking to sell, pricing is key, price your property strategically based on your competition.&amp;nbsp; The Sudden Valley market&amp;nbsp;decline &amp;amp; the 1st time home buyer tax credit&amp;nbsp;has brought more buyers into the market place with a few more sales in 09' than 08', although days on market for the area is about 15 days longer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Edgemoor Area Estate Sales&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I include the &lt;strong&gt;Edgemoor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood distressed properties&lt;/strong&gt; in the market reports because they have an impact on&amp;nbsp;prices in&amp;nbsp;the neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; If a given neighborhood has 5 distressed properties out of 6 sales, you can&amp;nbsp;pretty much&amp;nbsp;guarantee&amp;nbsp;that the sales prices&amp;nbsp;are going to be lower than a in a non-distressed transaction&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; thus, have a declining effect on the neighborhood market, as well as, the over &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham real estate market&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Below are charts showing changes in median price &amp;amp; number of homes in the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edgemoor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Neighborhood in the last 18 months.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Neighborhood inventory is the number of active properties on the market and the number of homes sold in the Edgemoor neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;As you can see from the charts here, sales in Whatcom County year-over-year are&amp;nbsp;down around 9% compared to last year.&amp;nbsp; Inventory of homes is low, which increases demand and helps to stabilize prices a bit, but as you can see prices are around 7% lower year-over-year.&amp;nbsp; Although inventory is low, it could be due to more competitive pricing and the feeding frenzy created by the previous 1st time tax credit deadline.&amp;nbsp; None-the-less low inventory creates demand which leads to faster stabilization.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fairhaven Neighborhood Market Statistics - September 09'</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood market statistics&lt;/strong&gt; for &lt;strong&gt;September &lt;/strong&gt;reflect the active, pending, &amp;amp; sold homes in the &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt; area of &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham Real Estate market&lt;/strong&gt;. You can use this information to help with pricing a property you might wish to sell or to help you determine value for a home you may be looking to buy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are currently 7 &lt;strong&gt;homes for sale&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://taracamprealestate.com/index.cfm/page/55806/parent/44280/Search_by_Neighborhood.html&quot; title=&quot;fairhaven neighborhood&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 2 homes that are pending (under contract with mutual acceptance b/t buyer &amp;amp; seller) &amp;amp; 1 property that has been sold during the month of&amp;nbsp;September 09' in the &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham, WA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's a breakdown of the activity in the &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; for the past month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven Neighborhood Homes for Sale&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Average Market time: &lt;strong&gt;111 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;days&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven Short Sales for Sale (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven Estate Sales&amp;nbsp;for Sale (0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Average Sq.ft: &lt;strong&gt;2245&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven pending Bank Owned Real Estate (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven pending Short Sales (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven pending Estate Sales (0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven Neighborhood Sold Homes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven Short Sales (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fairhaven Estate Sales (0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I include &lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood distressed properties&lt;/strong&gt; in the market reports because they have an impact on&amp;nbsp;prices in&amp;nbsp;the neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; If a given neighborhood has 5 distressed properties out of 6 sales, you can&amp;nbsp;pretty much&amp;nbsp;guarantee&amp;nbsp;that the sales prices&amp;nbsp;are going to be lower than a in a non-distressed transaction&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; thus, have a declining effect on the neighborhood market, as well as, the over &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham real estate market&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Below are charts showing changes in median price &amp;amp; number of homes in the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fairhaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Neighborhood in the last 18 months.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Neighborhood inventory is the number of active properties on the market and the number of homes sold in the Fairhaven neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Puget Neighborhood Neighborhood Statistics  - September 09'</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood market statistics&lt;/strong&gt; for &lt;strong&gt;September&lt;/strong&gt; reflect the active, pending, &amp;amp; sold homes in the &lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt; area of &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham Real Estate market&lt;/strong&gt;. You can use this information to help with pricing a property you might wish to sell or to help you determine value for a home you may be looking to buy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are currently 6 &lt;strong&gt;homes for sale&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://taracamprealestate.com/index.cfm/page/55806/parent/44280/Search_by_Neighborhood.html&quot; title=&quot;bellingham neighborhoods &quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 5 homes that are pending (under contract with mutual acceptance b/t buyer &amp;amp; seller) &amp;amp; no property has been sold during the month of&amp;nbsp; September 09' in the &lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham, WA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's a breakdown of the activity in the &lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt; for the past month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Puget Neighborhood Homes for Sale&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Median Price is &lt;strong&gt;$399,950&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average Market time: &lt;strong&gt;123 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;days&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average Sq.ft: &lt;strong&gt;2331&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Puget Bank Owned Real Estate for Sale (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Puget Short Sales for Sale (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Puget Estate Sales&amp;nbsp;for Sale (0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Puget Neighborhood Pending Sales&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Median Price is &lt;strong&gt;$269,000&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average Market time: &lt;strong&gt;49 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;days&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average Sq.ft: &lt;strong&gt;2299 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Puget pending Bank Owned Real Estate (0) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://locator.nwmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Locator&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=I9xUF6hi%2BAmcF%2B8gU%2BqONjy218%2FIhcy2QZgJoC%2BavmA%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1&amp;amp;Include_Search_Criteria=&quot; title=&quot;Puget pending Short Sales (2)&quot; id=&quot;fe7l&quot;&gt;Puget pending Short Sales (2)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Puget pending Estate Sales (0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;No Homes Sold in the Puget &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;for September 09'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I include &lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; neighborhood distressed properties&lt;/strong&gt; in the market reports because they have an impact on&amp;nbsp;prices in&amp;nbsp;the neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; If a given neighborhood has 5 distressed properties out of 6 sales, you can&amp;nbsp;pretty much&amp;nbsp;guarantee&amp;nbsp;that the sales prices&amp;nbsp;are going to be lower than a in a non-distressed transaction&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; thus, have a declining effect on the neighborhood market, as well as, the over &lt;strong&gt;Bellingham real estate market&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Below are charts showing changes in median price &amp;amp; number of homes in the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Puget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Neighborhood in the last 18 months.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Median Price&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Chart below compares the historic median price of sold and active inventory in the Puget neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neighborhood Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Neighborhood inventory is the number of active properties on the market and the number of homes sold in the Puget neighborhood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
