Both of these reports indicated a strong year for the market in the Valley. I have been concentrating on the Palmer and Wasilla areas because that is where over 80% of the properties are sold.
Since the Alaska Dispatch recently caught up with the story in Home Prices In South-Central Highest Ever I thought I would do an update.
See the hard data below. I rounded off the prices to the nearest thousand dollars.
I included both average and median prices. Some people would rather use the median price since that tends to eliminate fluctuations caused by extremely low or high sales.
| Year | Total House Sales | Average Price | Median Price |
| 2013 | 969 | $241,000 | $226,000 |
| 2012 | 792 | $231,000 | $222,000 |
| 2011 | 843 | $225,000 | $214,000 |
| 2010 | 792 | $225,000 | $215,000 |
It’s easy to see that this is a strong year for sales. Prices have increased somewhat and the demand is bound to continue to push prices up unless something like the economy or interest rates step in to change things.
By the way, if you happen to be looking for a home with a view it’s really hard to beat the one pictured above. Call or email for more details on that house. Price has been reduced to $360,000 for a 5 bedroom house with a fantastic view.
