Anacortes Home Sales The housing market in Anacortes was soft in May primarily due to terrible weather and the snow birds that lingered in their warm weather winter homes. In Anacortes, there were 35 transactions in May 2007 with a median price of $395,000. In May of 2008 there were 34 transactions with a median price of $346,250. Housing statistics of "sold" properties report the activity of 60-90 days prior when Anacortes had extremely cold weather and snow. The tulips bloomed late this year and then were drowned in rainstorms...we have not had our usual beautiful spring! Real estate agents judge what the future statistics will be by the number of sign calls, buyers, and showings that are currently taking place. In Anacortes we are seeing more Canadians looking for vacation homes and waterfront properties. Canada is not experiencing the mortgage issues that the U.S. has experienced, and with the value of the dollar our prices look like bargains compared with like properties in Canada. Our property taxes are also more attractive. We are seeing a dramatic increase of buyers in the NW from all nationalities. I received a call last week from Russia and spoke with the client through an interpreter. Windermere Real Estate/Anacores Properties has signed up for to have Windermere Premier listings put on Luxuryportfolio.com which targets the international buyer. The website features luxury properties worldwide and is available in 9 Languages, 22 Currencies, and is currently being viewed by prospective buyers in 150 Countries.

With rising moorage rates, dry boat storage is becoming more popular. Dry boat storage is still abundant in Anacortes.

Anacortes Real Estate: The real estate market in Anacortes has been one of the best long term investments that an Anacortes homeowner can make. La Connor or Anacortes home ownership allows you to have an excellent investment, allows you to leverage your money, and provides a tax break to most tax payers. The 5-year trend chart above reflects the Anacortes real estate market. The median price of Anacortes homes sold through the NWMLS in March 2003 was $205,000, while in February 2008, the median price of a Anacortes home was $375,000. That far surpasses most people's stock portfolio! The key to making wise investments in Skagit Valley real estate is to buy low in the right location and sell high while considering the cost of money. There is still an abundance of well priced Skagit Vally real estate and invest properties to choose from! We are seeing a welcomed increase in Skagit Valley real estate activity which will result in a higher sales pace in the months to come. Very low interest rates are available to home buyers that have good credit ratings...so this provides a rare opportunity for real estate investors. It is also the best time for home owners to move up and take advantage of the wide selection of inventory. www.JeanGroesbeck.com www.CBIslandLiving.com www.AnacortesHomesBlog.com www.AnacortesHomeTeam.com
