The question of the year seems to be, “What is our market doing, how is our economy doing, and how is that affecting our housing market?” Today I’m going to talk about the Anchorage-Eagle River market stats and update you on where we are today versus last year.

This year’s total active listings compared to last year show that we’re up about 16%, which is not horrible. This just means that the buyers have about 16% more homes to look at and choose from. If you’re a seller it means that you need to be on top of your game and your house needs to look better than everybody else’s.


The good news is that our sales are not down by that much - only 6% compared to where they were this time last year. Our average sales price right now is down about 2% - it was $364,000 last year and we’re at $358,000 this year. Our average days on market figure is showing slightly less, which is great news if you’re a seller. In that respect, we went from roughly 86 days to 67 days. And finally, our list-to-sales price is about the same, as the sellers are getting somewhere between 98% and 99% of asking price.
