What a incredible day we are having today. I took some time today and took a wonderful brisk walk along Roeder Ave, Squalicum Harbor and Zuanich Point Park. The sun was shining, Mt. Baker was peaking over the hills and everyone was out enjoying the day. If you have not had a chance to get outside and take advantage of this wonderful weather be sure to take some time and do it, you will be happy you did! Don’t forget about the Marine Touch Tank it’s sure to be a hit with any kids you may have in the family.

Historic Active Listings Compared to # of Homes Sold in the York Neighborhood
The York neighborhood traditionally has offered good housing for first time home buyers, and with a median price of $229,000, it seems this is still the case. The neighborhood is bucking the trend toward declining inventory at the moment, with active listings on a rising curve since May. This gives buyers more opportunity, which they are obviously taking, since the time on the market before a house goes under contract was just 20 days in September.
The York neighborhood is comprised primarily of small to mid-sized character homes on lots of approximately 5000 square feet. It is conveniently located to both downtown and the freeway, with a park and an elementary school in the neighborhood.
If you would like more specific information on homes in the York neighborhood, don’t hesitate to contact us. If you would like to know how your home anywhere in Whatcom County fits into the market, request a free online estimate of value.
