Year Totals for the Mat-Su Valley Residential

Here is what’s happening in our area:

Year Totals for the Mat-Su Valley Residential

Number of Sales
06 2,176
07 1,491
Average Price for Wasilla
230,641
Active Listings (homes that are for sale today)
678

Average Difference Sale Price to List Price
-$4,800
Average Days on Market
75


Even though our market is down about 24% our market continues to be strong.
Homes that are priced right and in good condition continue to sell quickly.

Wayne’s Recommendation:

If you’re buying a home, it is important that you work closely with an experienced agent who understands what’s going on with the real estate market and local economy. I will be able to advise you on how to get the most for your money and what homes you may want to avoid, as there are homes on the market that are not priced at their fair market value.

If you’re selling your home, it’s also important that you work closely with a highly-motivated agent who understands what’s going on with the market and local economy. Your goal is to net top dollar – which you may not achieve if you over price or under price your home.


In 2007 I sold over $11,000,000 in real estate and I would love to sell your too.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me by telephone or email – even if all you have is a question.

Have a great day!
