Pending Ratios- How Many Homes For Sale Have Pending Offers On Them?

February 20th, 2012 by Fawn | Posted in Bellingham, Pending Ratios, Real Estate Sales Statistics | 1 Comment »

Sold SignEvery week we track the number of homes on the market that have offers on them and those that do not and create a ratio we call Pending Ratios. This weeks numbers were great with all areas either remaining stable or up in pendings.

As of Saturday, February 18th, the pending ratio in Bellingham was 21% . Pending is the time frame between when an offer has been mutual accepted between the buyer’s and the seller’s of the home and when the title actually transfers hands. This give the buyer’s time to get the financing, do inspection, review the title reports and more.

Birch Bay had a pending ratio of 20%

The Lynden area in East Whatcom County has a pending ratio of 25%

The Sudden Valley pending ratio was 24%

The Ferndale pending ratio was 26%

If you are getting a rate quote from a lender who does not have all your information, that rate may not be real. What with the low rates, it is still a great time to buy a house!
