Looking from Alaska

Getting ready to leave town for a few days and visiting family in Alaska has made for a busy week so I apologize for not keeping up with entries. Most of the March results are now in and I will be preparing my monthly update soon but wanted to give you a flavor of what happened last month, especially in Roseville where the results were positive in regards to volume and median price increases.

In the three zip codes that make up Roseville (95661, 95678 and 95747) we saw volume increase across the board with zip code 95747 leading the way with 55 sales and an increase of 44.7 percent over February. In terms of median price again all three parts of Roseville saw increases from the previous month and from March of 2005. In 95661 the median price of $469,250 was up 2.29 percent from February and 2.2 percent over March 2005. In 95678 the median increased 3.23 percent from February to $407,750. This represents an annual increase of 7.5 percent. In 95747 the median sales price for March was $487,000 up 13.45 percent from February and 14.6 from a year ago.

Over the next few days I will be posting my monthly review so keep an eye on my real estate news page at jalone.com. In addition I will be looking at the Rocklin, Granite Bay and Lincoln numbers here on my Blog.
