The Whatcom County real estate market has been anything but quiet over the past month and a half. In the past 45 days, the numbers tell a very clear story:
- 🏠 345 homes have hit the market — sellers are making moves and putting their homes out there.
- 📑 286 homes have gone pending — meaning those sellers have accepted offers and are on the path to closing.
- 📆 Just 30 days remain until school starts — for many buyers and sellers, that’s a natural deadline to make a move before fall schedules kick in.
What This Means for Sellers
We’re in a market where buyers are still active and ready to write offers. While interest rates may still be a factor in some buyers’ decisions, homes that are priced well and presented professionally are finding buyers quickly.
With so much activity happening right now, sellers have an opportunity to capture attention and secure a strong offer before the summer rush turns into the fall market. Listing now gives you the advantage of motivated buyers who want to get settled before school and work routines shift into high gear.
What This Means for Buyers
If you’re buying, the increased number of new listings (345 in just 45 days!) means more choices than you may have seen earlier in the year. That also opens the door to better negotiation opportunities.
Whether you’re looking for your first home, upgrading for more space, or downsizing, acting quickly in a fast-moving market can help you secure the right property before competition picks back up again this fall.
Timing Is Everything
Homes are selling.
Sellers are closing.
The market is moving.
If you’ve been waiting for “the right time,” this might be it. There’s still a window to list, sell, and transition into your next chapter before summer ends. With the right guidance, you can make the most of this momentum.
