Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Whatcom County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Whatcom County has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up nearly 9 percent and months of supply more than doubling to 4.1 months, aligning with a buyer’s market reading on the local gauge. Contract activity has cooled, as pending sales are down almost 30 percent from August and roughly 17 percent year over year, while homes sold have fallen by a similar double-digit share.
Pricing is showing mild downward pressure in response to slower demand, with the typical home value dipping about 3 percent month over month and nearly 3 percent compared with last year. Sellers are also seeing slightly softer outcomes at the negotiation table, with the average sale-to-list ratio near 98 percent and the share of homes closing above list price holding just under 30 percent, down sharply from peak summer levels.
Timing dynamics reflect this rebalancing, as the median days on market has lengthened to about a month, a notable rise from both August and the faster pace seen earlier in the year. Relative to the broader Washington market, Whatcom County’s typical home value sits a bit higher while inventory is also somewhat looser, giving buyers more room to compare options and encouraging sellers to price carefully. Buyers and sellers can both benefit from these nuanced shifts, and Agent Pronto can connect them with a local agent who understands how to navigate this evolving landscape.
Whatcom County offers residents a high quality of life with abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant communities, strong schools, and a beautiful, accessible natural setting.
Whatcom County stretches from Bellingham Bay to the Canadian border, combining a major university city with quiet rural communities and waterfront towns. Residents value how easy it is to move around: Interstate 5, proximity to Vancouver and Seattle, and the Bellingham International Airport keep regional and long‑distance travel straightforward.
Daily life centers around accessible amenities. Bellingham offers walkable neighborhoods, a historic Fairhaven district, and a network of shoreline paths through Zuanich Point Park and the South Bay Trail. Families appreciate strong schools such as Bellingham Public Schools and community resources like the Bellingham Public Library. Smaller cities add their own flavor: Lynden with its compact downtown, Ferndale near the Nooksack River, and Blaine and Point Roberts offering close access to coastal recreation.
Outdoor access is a major part of livability. Residents can be in the foothills of Mount Baker Ski Area or hiking around Whatcom Falls Park in under an hour from most urban neighborhoods, while local farms and markets supply fresh food options across the county.
Because each city and unincorporated area has its own zoning rules, microclimates, and market rhythms, working with a knowledgeable local agent can prevent costly missteps. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with Whatcom County experts who understand these details, helping reduce stress and streamline every step of the move.

“I was moving across the country and I was a first time homebuyer. Bill Jordan always walked me through what to expect and answered every sing question that I had, sometimes more than once. I always hear about how hard the home buying process is, but Bill made it so easy that I had to triple confirm the house was mine since he truly made it so easy. I couldn't believe it!”
“Ms. Lauren Peters is the most reality expert in our buying and selling property agent in my Seattle home favorite friend. She has a sharp vision to help us either side as buy agent or buyer agent. She is very good communicator, has good customer service and a mindset to have advice for the property statement, issue and problems solved with the third party . Best choice to have her as my agent:)”
“Nick helped us sort out the pros and cons of purchasing nearby property, and then walked us thru each of the purchasing steps thru closing. We are very grateful for his expertise and assistance. If we ever plan to buy or sell other properties, he will be our Realtor. We strongly recommend his services. Lon & Susan Swan”
“Dyyana was great! She represented us as our buyer’s agent and was very knowledgeable about the Bellevue and surrounding areas. She is also very knowledgeable about investment properties and strategies to maximize value/ROI for investment properties. She was very accommodating and was willing to show us multiple homes in order to find our home. Her negotiation skills were excellent. She was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Very easy to talk with. Would highly recommend! Thank you, Dyyana!”
“Doug was great as our buyer's agent! We are stationed overseas and bought a house in preparation of returning back to WA. We were worried about the time difference- but Doug was responsive 24/7- up at 1/2am WA time and attentive to our needs. He sent us numerous updates on homes that were available, and was always attentive to our needs. The closing despite being overseas was seamless and easy. We continue to rely on Doug and his contacts long after the sale - and recommend him without any reservations.”

“Hailey was a joy to work and made this major life decision as seemless as possible. She was extremely kind, knowlegable, attentive to detail, responsive and proactive. Not to mention she had a wonderful understanding of the area, market and explained everything very clearly for us during the home buying process. Due to her quick thinking, attentive detail to our listing and her advice she helped us acquire our dream home. We knew from the moment we met her we were in good hands and would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Thank you Hailey for everything you did for us to find and buy our forever home!”

“Working with Kendra on the sale of my condo was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Having worked with numerous real estate agents, I can say without reservation that Kendra operates on an entirely different level. She brought tremendous market knowledge, excellent judgment and a clear strategy to every stage of the sale. She was consistently accessible, kept me informed and handled every detail with professionalism and precision. Whenever a question or concern arose, Kendra was already prepared with an answer or solution. Beyond being an exceptional broker, Kendra is also a genuinely wonderful person. She made the experience feel personal, cared about my goals and represented my interests as though they were her own. The transaction closed successfully, and I could not be happier with the service and guidance she provided. Kendra is the kind of real estate professional everyone hopes to find. I am so glad we met and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone seeking the very best representation.”
“We could not have asked for a better experience working with Dexter! From the very first moment we met him in the John L. Scott parking lot, we knew we were in great hands. Dexter is the definition of a true professional—courteous, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply personable. Throughout the entire process, he was always quick to respond and proactive in keeping us informed. What truly sets Dexter apart is his creative, "out-of-the-box" problem-solving and his willingness to go well beyond 100% whenever we needed assistance. We always felt like he was genuinely in our corner, going to bat for us at every step with incredible timeliness and care. We truly feel so lucky to have had Dexter guiding us through this process, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!”

As a first-time buyer, Kerri always made sure that I had the information that I needed, and her local ties and knowledge of Bellingham and the Whatcom area were extremely valuable as well. She will undoubtedly make your selling and buying process a smooth and seamless experience!”
“Laura was very kind and helpful, went out of her way to help me. She is very honest and skilled in her job. We were looking to buy this home; she told me all the costs, tried every way to help us but we didn't have the finances.”
“Irena was great. As a first time buyer Irena was very good with guiding through the process and answering questions. Very serious about putting customer first. Would use again.”
“Scott was great to work with. The process was rather complicated given the nature of the deal, but Scott and his team kept us informed every step of the way. They were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Even when I was out of the country they made sure to keep us in the loop in a timely manner despite the time difference. I appreciated having an agent who was able to help us understand our options which allowed us to think clearly.”
“Sava is so amazing. She is the kind of realtor that will drop anything she is doing to support your needs. She answered all our calls on nights and weekends and even showed up at our house with a mop and broom to clean just to make sure our house closed on time. She always goes the extra mile to get a deal done and is just so amazing to work with.”
“Manitille was recommended to us by a friend, and he definitely did not disappoint! He is very knowledgeable, respectful, responsible, and patient. He takes the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for and works with you until you find the right home. He is extremely professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to his clients. I would absolutely give him 5 stars and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. He is one of the best in the market!”
“Jeff Norris was very helpful in getting my lovely Seattle condo ready for sale. Jeff is a thoughtful listener, carefully accepted some of my ideas on pricing and worked smoothly with his amazing team Milaina West Group of Keller Williams. An offer came in almost immediately and the sale went smoothly due to cooperation and coordination of tasks and timelines among all parties. Organizing a sale of your primary residence is a major organizational task. Jeff will handle the details with respectful expertise and efficient back-up. Highly recommend.”
“Disking is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and fantastic to work with. We were first time sellers and he took lots of time to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Our house went on the market around the same time as eight other houses in our neighborhood. We got a full price offer on day two, and our neighbors houses (with other agents) are still on the market with price cuts two months later. He was also very helpful getting us into a new house that we absolutely love. The Young family has been in the Whatcom County real estate business for generations and I don't think you could find anyone more qualified to be your agent.”
