Custer vs. nearbyShould you look one town over?
Ferndale and Birch Bay run below Custer on price — worth a look if budget is tight. Irena shows in all three.

Custer sellers reach acreage buyers from Bellingham and Ferndale. Drone photos of the parcel, shop, and pasture widen the pool; well and septic records shorten inspection.

1Have septic pumped and inspected before listing.
2Price within 3% of the comps — in Custer, well-priced homes draw the first-week buyers while over-priced ones sit.
3Buyers here are informed and patient — condition and a clean pre-inspection close the gap.

About Custer

Custer is an unincorporated crossroads on the old Pacific Highway between Ferndale and Blaine — a school, a post office, a tavern, and thousands of acres of small farms, pasture, and custom homes on acreage. It's the closest true country living to Bellingham that isn't in a floodplain.

Housing is 1970s–2020s homes on 1–10 acre parcels, a few small plats near Custer School Road, and working farms toward Birch Bay-Lynden Road. Buyers come for shops, animals, and privacy with a 20-minute Bellingham commute and Ferndale schools.

Why buyers choose Custer+Closest non-floodplain acreage to Bellingham+Ferndale schools and a 20-minute commute+Shops, animals, privacy — and the beach ten minutes away
Honest trade-offs−Everything is a drive; no walkable center−Wells and septic on nearly every parcel−Refinery proximity to the west
Irena Kolbert"We could not have asked for a better realtor. Irena was prepared from day one and worked hard to quickly sell our home."
