With Jag Sidhu | Home Smart Realty | 📞 360-255-8243

Hey friends and neighbors,

Spring has officially sprung in Bellingham; with it, the real estate market is waking up in a big way. If you've been thinking about moving— buying your first home, upgrading, or selling your current place—now's a great time to start the conversation.

Here’s a quick and friendly look at what’s happening in our local market this April:

🔍 What the Numbers Are Telling Us

• Median Home Price: $599,000
  We’re seeing a gentle rise in home values, nothing wild, but enough to keep things interesting.
• Average Days on Market: 29 days
  Homes are moving quicker now that spring buyers are getting serious.
• Inventory: Still on the low side, around 2.1 months’ worth of homes
  That means sellers still have the upper hand—but there’s a little more to choose from than we saw over the winter.
• Interest Rates: Around 6.4%
  Not quite where we were a few years ago, but buyers are adjusting and deals are still being made every day.

🏡 What's Fueling the Market?

• Buyers are back! After a slow winter, folks are eager to find their next home before summer hits.
• Low inventory = competition – especially for homes under $700K or in those hot neighborhoods like Columbia, Fairhaven, and South Hill.
• Confidence is growing – both buyers and sellers are feeling more optimistic, which helps keep the market moving.

🌟 Local Neighborhood Highlights

• Cordata & Meridian – Great for newer homes and easy access to shopping and schools.
• Lettered Streets – Always a favorite for charm, walkability, and community vibes.
• Sudden Valley – If you want nature, lake access, and a little more breathing room, this area is a gem.
  

💬 Real Talk: Should You Buy or Sell Now?

Thinking about buying?
Let’s be real—it’s competitive out there. But with the right prep (hello, pre-approval!) and someone local in your corner, you’ll be ready to jump on the right opportunity.

Looking to sell?
Spring is your season. Curb appeal is at its peak, buyer activity is climbing, and well-priced homes are getting snapped up—often with multiple offers.

📅 What's Ahead

As we roll deeper into spring, expect more listings to hit the market and buyer demand to keep climbing. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, now’s the time to start making moves—before summer competition really heats up.
