These are the statistics for Wasilla and Palmer Real estate for the week of January 8-14, 2013. These numbers include the whole Mat-Su Borough but most of the activity is between Wasilla and Palmer.
Notice that the total inventory is down. This number will continue to increase as we move into spring. If you want to get in early before the competition, now is the time.
Otherwise, the rest of the chart looks pretty normal.
Below is the chart from the week of Jan 8-14
| Number of Listings | Average Price | Median Price | DOM | |
| New | 21 | $236,030 | $226,500 | |
| Total Active | 606 | $248,115 | $219,000 | 176 |
| Pending | 19 | $233,811 | $198,500 | 156 |
| Closed | 14 | $256,871 | $233,500 | 86 |
Interest rates appear to be rising. If this continues the market will slow considerably. It would be best to hit the market sooner rather than later if you are a seller. And the same goes for buyers if you want to lock in a low rate.
