Condo Dues per Month, Fairhaven Breakdown: The forgotten monthly costs

MOI-3    As the last few clients I've had in town have been interested in the  total costs of places in Bellingham per month, we'll always go through what they're comfortable paying according to their monthly mortgage payment.  Then figure in utilities, other bills, car payments, credit cards; a regular slough of money going out.  We're all there, so no judging, especially around the holidays. 

FairhavenAnd yet with condos, everything is neatly packaged for the most part.  A large portion of the complexes in town are going to include water/sewer/garbage, sometimes cable, sometimes even Internet or an on-site gym.  Most also include the upkeep of the exterior of the complex, and any of a cornucopia of repairs will be taken out as special assessments or from the coffers of the reserves on Home Owner Dues. 

So as it's the season for lists, I thought a list of Fairhaven Condos on the market as of  today, as well as what they include might be of help.  The list below is based on what's been reported through the NWMLS as of 12/12/08.

Homes in Fairhaven

Real estate in Fairhaven is pricier than other areas in Bellingham because of the prime location. There is a small residential area south of Donovan Avenue, where the side streets are undeveloped and homes modest. Downtown Fairhaven has been busy developing new condo projects, but in general it’s hard to find anything for under a quarter of a million.
