I thought it would be interesting to do a search to find the most affordable residential home in Whatcom Co. and the highest priced home in Whatcom Co and see what the expansive range of prices are. While we all have a “normal” price range that pops in to our head when thinking about price differences (I would guess most would say $300k-$600k), this proves that most of us don’t realize the extremes both ends of the spectrums produce.
To be fair, the high priced example only had one close peer but other than that, all the other high end properties were in the $1.5 million to $2.5 million dollar range, so this example really is “extreme”.
The most affordable example here is also a bit of an extreme (although it has more peers) as it is in a retirement community for many “snowbirds” who use these homes part time.
Let me know what you think!
Behold: The highest priced residence happens to be in Blaine Wa. and sits on 65+ acres, is around 12000 sq. ft. and boasts approx. 1575 feet of waterfront! All told, this unbelievable home is offered at $12,488,888. MLS #1272680
Just as important as the other end of the price spectrum is this retirement “snow bird” community home that serves as a way to come and go depending on the season and the weather. This home is located in Bellingham Wa and is offered at $20,000. It boasts a shy 800 sq ft and is almost completely maintenance free!
There you have it! The highest and most affordable homes available in Whatcom Co. Both serve great purpose and will be perfect for their new owners needs!
