First Quarter Stats, 2009…Compared May 6th, 2009

Categories: Market Trends, Wasilla Real Estate News

I thought it would be interesting to compare the first quarter sales numbers to the previous three years. The table is below with 2009 at the bottom.

Year	Total Sales	Average Price	Median Price	DOM
2006	157	205,481	191,000	72
2007	137	231,876	216,000	95
2008	127	210,960	199,900	112
2009	95	218,541	205,000	88

I would have liked to go back further but beyond 2006 the MLS numbers become somewhat unreliable for Mat-Su statistics because the Anchorage and Valley had separate MLS systems at that time.

I don’t know quite what to make of these numbers…but it is what it is…

Total sales are definitely down, but average prices are up and DOM, (days on market), is shorter. Anyone else care to make sense of these numbers for me?
