Five Acres On The Mat-Su River, April 28th, 2010

Categories: Sold Listings

I finally got a chance to walk this lot. It’s quite a sleeper, it looks like a dense tangle of small spruce trees from the road, but after winding through about 300 feet of this thick spruce forest the lot opens up into old growth birch and spruce. Some of the trees are really huge, and tall. It’s one of the nicest stands of spruce I’ve seen in the area.

Then it gets better, about 600 feet back the land drops off steeply so that you are standing at the edge of a bluff at least 50 feet high looking right at Pioneer Peak. This would be a fantastic spot for a cabin, or a nice house. In fact, if you had the heart to cut them all down, I think there might be enough big spruces on the land to build a nice cabin.

This is one property that you can’t judge from a drive-by. PRICE REDUCED to $65,000. Give me a call…907 232-7900

Wasilla Real Estate Market Memo for April 19-26, 2010 April 26th, 2010

Categories: For Buyers

Wasilla real estate statistics for April 19-26, 2010 This includes Palmer and the rest of the Mat-Su Valley as well.

The real estate market appears to be picking up judging by the the statistics of the last two weeks. Pending sales, new listings, and closed sales are all up. My phone is ringing a lot as well, and judging by conversations with other Realtors, there is a lot more activity valley wide.

Take a look at the table below, notice that DOM is down significantly, it was over 150 days for the total active market not very long ago.

		Average Price	Median Price	DOM
New	77	$233,585	$225,000	.
Total Active	841	$276,271	$239,900	128
Pending	35	$218,894	$199,900	99
Closed	23	$231,058	$199,00	118

Below is the last week in April of 2009 for a comparison, note that we have more new listings, more pending sales, and more closed sales this year than last. We also have more houses on the market for this time of year. I think it is all a result of the tax rebate stimulus which ends in 4 days. Two weeks from now another comparison will be in order.

		Average Price	Median Price	DOM
New	53	$309,959	$220,000	.
Total Active	801	$285,315	$239,000	139
Pending	33	$217,354	$209,900	82
Closed	15	$203,593	$190,000	78

I will be putting out the next “DEALS OF THE WEEK”. Just send me a note if you want to receive this list of handpicked deals, foreclosures, short sales and relos. My email is marty@valleymarket.com
