Thinking of Relocating to the Pacific Northwest?

Even if you are still just thinking about a move to the Northwest, please call me to chat about this beautiful place, Bellingham-Mount Baker, Washington. Bellingham Real Estate prices have decreased so it is a good time to negotiate. Search for homes in Bellingham and surrounding areas by using our search for homes feature. Real estate in Bellingham, WA has depreciated in the past two years (down around 33% as compared to three years ago). That said, homes in Bellingham are affordable! The average price for a single family home range is $300,000-$500,000. Some homes in Sudden Valley are much less with all of the Lake Whatcom community ammenities. Waterfront homes in Bellingham are harder to find. Real estate on Chuckanut averages $1.5 million and with docks closer to $2 million and upwards. There are restrictions to putting docks in Bellingham Bay and a buyer needs to verify with the Whatcom County planners that it is possible to install one. Environmental laws protecting salmon are the reason it is such a big deal!

Real estate in Fairhaven is probably at an all low. Homes in Fairhaven with a view of Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands are available. The Fairhaven district is filled with boutiques, restaurants and galleries-all locally owned! There are several beach front parks in the district, accessible by the walking trails located along the bay. Call for listings of Fairhaven Property. I offer a number of services to help you find the perfect home in this idyllic setting.

Many homes in this area have spectacular views of Bellingham Bay. Eagle and whale sightings are common here!

The Interurban trail systems connect our many parks such as Lake Padden, Boulevard Park, Whatcom Falls Park, Larrabee State Park with the neighborhoods and Bellingham Bay.

The Pacific Northwest has been discovered, which is probably why you are considering a move here yourself. "Best Places to Live" has put us on the short list for many years. The Winter Olympic Games will be literally next door in Vancouver, B.C. in 2010, our housing and investment market remains strong for the future.

Why is this area so popular?

The size of our cities, the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Whistler/Black Comb and other mountains provide abundant outdoor recreation and just sheer beauty. Hiking, kayaking, skiing, mountain biking are at our doorstep. (The recreational list goes on and on.)

We tend to draw people who want to amp down without giving up a sophisticated lifestyle, wish to preserve and discover the history of a community, and who appreciate natural beauty.

It does rain here, but we are in a temperate rain forest. The rain keeps the air clear (The American Lung Association as rated the area as the #1 best air quality in the US for 4 years running), the salmon swimming and the landscape lush and green.
