Skagit County Median Home Prices Are Holding Steady in 2010.
We keep hearing on the news about all the doom and gloom about the economy and falling home prices that the media can muster. However; here in Skagit County it just ain't so!

skagit real estate: The Mount Vernon – Anacortes Housing Market is Still Doing Great! - 01/06/08 06:45 PM
 
 
 
According to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, the Mount Vernon-Anacortes, WA Metropolitan Statistical Area had the 30th best housing market in the country of the 287 metropolitan statistical areas measured.  We have slipped a bit, last year we were the 3rd best, but we are still doing better than 89% of the Nation, and that isn't bad at all!
