You have the wrong house in your maps!

You have our house 2918 Iowa Drive Bellingham WA 98229-4101 on the maps way down the street like 2900. the address 2918 Iowa Drive should have Erie Street and Nigarea Street pointing at the house. Can you correct these?? Thanks, Jerry Price

My home's Zillow value seems to have taken a sharp dive, far greater than the local price drop. Why?

1645 Pebble Beach Trail. We have done a lot of high quality renovation on this house, but it doesn't seem to be seen as comparing to the other nice houses in our neighborhood.

What does $300,000 buy you in Bellingham?

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:49:00 GMT

Plenty of choices here. In our Bellingham Real Estate market there are about 100 homes on the market between $290,000 and $350,000, with only 11 pending.

There are several in this range that are just flat over priced, not good investments. We will be seeing those on the market for a while! For example, a 1970's home in an older neighborhood with 1600 square feet for $292,000. Some one needs a reality check!

However, the options in this range do offer some great deals for brand new homes with around 1600 square feet, newer homes with up to 2000 square feet...all in great condition and in good neighborhoods. Or perhaps you like the older Craftsman or Victorian homes that are good condition, with smaller square footage! Bellingham homes for sale offer many choices in neighborhood styles.

What is rare to find in this range is a view. Those cost more money!

There is plenty of shopping in this range...Bellingham Real Estate has choices for you! This is also the range you are most likely to get sellers to work with you on closing costs, or pricing!

Bellingham, WA Silver Beach Neighborhood

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:47:00 GMT

Bellingham's Silver Beach neighborhoodhas quite the history. Originally waaaayyyy back when in the early 1900's Silver Beach had a hotel, Farris wheel and park. It must have been a site to see! Bloedel-Donovan Park, located on the east side of Lake Whatcom, is a 20-acre park is filled with sunbathers, picnics, bbq, family gatherings, swimmers, and dog owners!

Miles of trails await runners, walkers, or park-goers who simply want to stroll from Bloedel-Donovan to Whatcom Falls. Bird watchers can take advantage of Scudder Pond, a preserved wetland that is always bustling with wildlife. Some backyards are simply a gate away from this wildlife, essentially having an entire park behind the house. When I lived in the Silver Beach area, deer walked through my back yard on a regular basis...nature at your window!

The nearby Silver Beach Elementary School, originated in 1912 and remodeled in 1992. The area is filled with many different types of housing. The Silver Beach neighborhoodboasts some of the only affordable lakefront homes in the area. Condominiums are available in the northeast area of Lake Whatcom, perfect for those who need water more than square feet or who want the perfect summer getaway.

A favorite quick stop for all going through or to the Silver Beach area is the Silver Beach Grocery! It is great to go to a place that knows your name! Stop by some time! Enjoy the beauty of this neighborhood!
