Highest Home Sales Since 2009

An article in the Bellingham Herald reported that this past month in February, home sales were at its highest since November of 2009. The home sales rose about .8 percent to adjust the annual rate to 4.98 million. This is an excellent sign that the housing market is strengthening, and it is an encouraging factor for sellers to place their homes on the market. Also, last month there was a 10 percent increase in the existing homes being available to sell.

New homes are being sold faster than they can be built and some new homeowners are purchasing great properties for a lower price than five years ago and with a very low interest rate. That’s making today’s buyers feel more secure about their investment.”
