The Meridian neighborhood market statistics for October reflect the active, pending, & sold homes in the Meridian area of Bellingham Real Estate market.  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. 

There are currently 5 homes for sale in the Meridian neighborhood, 2 homes that are pending (under contract with mutual acceptance b/t buyer & seller), & 4 properties that have sold during the month of October 09' in the Meridian neighborhood in Bellingham, WA.

Here's a breakdown of the activity in the Meridian Neighborhood for the past month.

I include the Meridian neighborhood distressed properties in the market reports because they have an impact on prices in the neighborhood.  If a given neighborhood has 5 distressed properties out of 6 sales, you can pretty much guarantee that the sales prices are going to be lower than a in a non-distressed transaction & thus, have a declining effect on the neighborhood market, as well as, the over Bellingham real estate market.
