BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Low supply plus high demand only leads to continued price increases,

According to Radio Real Estate host Mike Kent, that’s stating the obvious.

The median sales price of a Whatcom County home last month was over $322,000 – a more than 9% increase from a year earlier.

The number of sales was down almost 14% for the same period.

The Northwest Multiple Listing Service says there’s a little more than two months of inventory.

 

“Our inventory, at a time it should be growing, continues to get lower and lower and lower. And frankly, I don’t see it letting up,”  says Kent.

In a healthy or balanced market, there’s a six month supply.
