Bellingham Home OwnerEvery 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.

As of Saturday, Dec. 11th , 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 12%

Ferndale has a pending ratio of 18%.

The Lynden area in East Whatcom County has a pending ratio of 17%

Bellingham RetirementThis month’s Money Magazine has named Bellingham as the United States fifth best college town for retirees.   For those who may not live here Bellingham is nestled between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia yet still welcomes you with an amazing small town feel despite it’s amenities of a larger town.

Bellingham is home to Western Washington University. WWU is nationaly recognized for excellence and has been voted best regional public University in the Northwest and #2 in the Unites Stated.  With an enrollment of approximately 13,000 students.  It is just large enough to offer various specialty programs and classes yet still retain a small school feeling where it is easy to be welcomed and make friends. WWU also welcome retirees who choose to return to college for personal enrichment classes through their Academy of Lifelong Learning.

Money Magazine noted, “Bellingham offeres easy access to two major metro areas, it’s a district community in its own right, with a nationally recognized hospital, international airports and state college.”  The nationally recognized hospital is Bellingham’s St. Joseph Hospital which is home to a state of the art cardiovacular facility and other medical services. Real Estate

Other lures that attract retirees to Bellingham is the lack of a state income tax, mild seasons, strong community arts, farmers markets, harbors and parks.
