Wasilla, Palmer, and Matanuska Valley Real Estate Statistics.
These are the numbers for the week of July 21-27, 2009 and include all residential sales in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The vast majority of real estate activity, (about 80%), is in Palmer and Wasilla.
We had only 28 new listings last week which is less than we have seen for the past month or so. Our inventory still went up but only by 4.

Sales Volume down
Comparing this summer to last summer, (May 1 up to today), we have to say that closings are way down. Actually, I just looked at the statistics and we are down 15% in the amount of closings over last summer and down 33% over 2007.
Price unchanged
Sill, the price remains almost the same over that time period. The median price this year is $210,123 and the median price for 2007 was $213,250. That’s only a 1.5% reduction…which is essentially no change.
Inventory Up
The total amount of houses for sale is up about 8% over last summer which isn’t a huge increase. Still any increase combined with a lower sales volume tends to put pressure on prices. We will know more in a couple months. Stay tuned.
