Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Columbia has expanded in the latest rolling three-month view, with active listings more than doubling year over year and months of supply up sharply. New listings have also surged over 100 percent compared with a year ago, giving buyers more options than they had last year. Even with more homes on the market, properties still move quickly, spending a typical five days before going under contract.
Contract activity is holding up despite the added supply. Pending sales are running nearly 50 percent higher than a year ago, while homes sold are only slightly below last year’s pace, suggesting demand is still solid. Compared with the broader Bellingham market, Columbia has slightly tighter inventory than the city overall, which stands at 2.7 months of supply.
Pricing has adjusted from last year’s peak, with the typical home value down about 20 percent year over year even as the median list price is only modestly lower. Sellers are still achieving strong results, with an average sale-to-list ratio just above 100 percent and more than half of homes selling above their asking price. Fast market times and a high share of sales over list show that well-priced homes can attract strong offers, even in a looser inventory environment. To navigate these shifting dynamics, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with an experienced local real estate agent.
Learn more about what Columbia has to offer.
Columbia offers residents a walkable, neighborly community with parks and green space, locally owned shops and dining, convenient services, and easy access to downtown activities.
Columbia offers a distinctly residential, neighborhood scale that feels different from downtown Bellingham or the student energy around Western Washington University. Tree-lined streets, historic homes, and long-time residents create a sense of continuity that appeals to people who want a stable, close-knit place to put down roots.
Anchored by Columbia Elementary School, the area is popular with households looking for walkability and everyday convenience. Residents stroll to Elizabeth Park for summer concerts, playground time, and tennis, or head toward the shops and cafés of Downtown Bellingham for dining and entertainment. The waterfront and trails of Cornwall Park and nearby Maritime Heritage Park give easy access to green space without leaving the neighborhood fabric.
Columbia’s housing ranges from early 1900s craftsman homes to carefully updated properties, and resale opportunities can be limited because many owners stay for years. When homes do become available, proximity to Whatcom Middle School and quick access to the Whatcom Transportation Authority bus network add to demand from both local buyers and newcomers.
In a neighborhood where word travels fast and well-priced homes draw strong interest, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Columbia with a real estate professional who understands the area’s character, pricing trends, and how to move quickly in this sought-after part of Bellingham.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Corey is so knowledgeable about the real estate field. He anticipated the repairs that would be recommended by an inspection and we had those done in advance.

“Selling this home was one of the biggest and most emotional transitions of our lives. It wasn’t just a house, it was my childhood home, filled with decades of family memories, and Marv understood that from day one. This sale involved far more than simply listing a property. There were improvements, contractors, inspections, negotiations, title questions, and countless moving pieces leading up to closing. Throughout it all, Marv remained steady, responsive, and focused on solutions whenever challenges arose. What we appreciated most was his ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. During moments when the process felt overwhelming or emotional, he helped us stay focused on the bigger picture and guided us with patience and experience. By the end, we didn’t just feel like we had successfully sold our home, we felt supported through an important life transition. We are deeply grateful for everything Marv did and would recommend him without hesitation.”

“Mae is such a pleasure to work with, not only is she very knowledgable and capable of maximizing the profits on the property she posseses the ability to be kind, courteous, professional and provides exceptional service overall. We listed our house when the market was not moving too much but Mae did open houses numerous times to get people in to see the property to maximize the potential for us to get a buyer within a reasonable time frame. She assisted us with many facets of preparing the home as we were abroad during the process and she made everything very simple for us! She is an extremely valuable professional that I would highly recommend to anyone!”

“For the past 10 years, Jim Aklin has been our trusted realtor for both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to understand any market and create the right strategy for success. Our most recent experience with Jim was selling our condo in April 2026. Even in a slower market, with multiple similar condos competing against ours, Jim’s expertise made all the difference. He provided valuable staging recommendations, priced our home correctly, and within just 30 days found a couple who purchased our condo at the price we were hoping for. What truly sets Jim apart is his personal approach. He genuinely cares about his clients and brings a level of trust, communication, and dedication that makes the entire process seamless. Hands down, the best buying and selling experiences we’ve had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
