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?
