The number of residential pending sales in Bellingham compared to last year is continuing to rise.  For each of the past three weeks, the number of homes under contract in Bellingham has been higher than for the comparable week in 2008.  At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale in Bellingham is continuing to drop relative to 2008. 

An increase in sales activity this time of year is normal as we start into the upward curve of the selling season, but the news in these numbers is the increase over the same period of last year.   After approximately 18 months of steady decline in this comparison, this is welcome news.

Check back on Monday afternoon for the full report and all the numbers for 5 different Whatcom County areas at market statistics.
