Monday Market Memo 9-22 through 9-29 2008 October 1st, 2008

Categories: Monday Market Memo, Wasilla Real Estate News

Wasilla and Palmer real estate statistics. These statistics are for single family residential homes in the whole Mat-Su Borough. The vast majority of real estate transactions take place in the core area of Palmer and Wasilla.

The inventory is dropping drastically as we head into winter. I expect the total inventory to be under 800 by November and it might get into the 600s by January.

Although the inventory dropped, the pendings and closed sales were healthy this week. I personally have been very busy this week with residential sales. I would say that other people have been busy as well based on this weeks numbers.

		Average Price	Median Price	DOM
New	48	$308,434	$224,500	.
Total Active	856	$295,434	$244,950	135
Pending	33	$239,000	$239,000	71
Closed	42	$202,310	$205,000	96

Notice the huge discrepancy between average price and median price for new listings…that’s because of this one listing for almost $3,000,000. It has 766 acres of pure wilderness.
