Mather is a housing community with a history. The “Independence at Mather” development is a subdivision with 1271 homes that were built by KB Homes within the past ten years (with the strategic vision and planning of SHRA of course). Portions of the current housing tract were formally used as military barracks for military personnel from Mather Air Force Base just down the road, so when the base was decommissioned on October 1, 1993, it was a wonder what would happen to the land. Well, a subdivision was birthed and the old base was converted to Sacramento Mather Airport as well as for local commerce.

What do you notice from the graphs and data above? Listings certainly are lower than they used to be, aren’t they? It appears that there are not as many sales at higher levels too over the past 90 days than in the previous 90 days. Short sales often are priced aggressively to help offset the negative perception in the minds of many buyers, and it is eye-raising that a majority of current listings are short sales. How do you think that will impact the market in coming weeks and months?

If you have any questions about the data above or Independence at Mather in general, feel free to give me a call. The size, location, condition, layout, design, lot size, amenities, upgrades and so many other factors can affect the value of your home. The information listed above is general and not specific to any particular point of data other than being located in Mather. For a more detailed analysis of your home, please contact me at 916-595-3735 or www.lundquistcompany.com or “ryan [at] lundquistcompany [dot] com”. Additionally, if you purchased your property in recent years and you feel that your house has gone down in value, but the Assessor’s office has not recognized that decline, let’s talk about what your options may be.

Mather Data from MLS, DataQuick, and Realist:

  • 24 sales in past 90 days (MLS)
  • 11 sales since January 1, 2009 (MLS)
  • 41 current listings on the market – 10 pending, 18 short sale actives, 13 actives (MLS)
  • Decline of 17.40% when comparing January 2008 home sales with January 2009 home sales (Data Quick HERE)
  • 21 houses in pre-foreclosure (Realist)

There are 1271 homes in the Mather community, which was built by KB Homes, and dreamed up by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency. SHRA spearheaded the building project as an attempt to breathe life back into the Mather area when Mather Air Base was closed in 1988 (huge effects in the community and in Rancho Cordova too). Independence at Mather is an HOA with very minimal monthly fees (basically to cover front landscaping – no swimming pool or clubhouse). Mather is close to a local golf course, lake, trails, the Sacramento Speedway, and Mather Airport.

If you are a home owner in Mather, what is it that attracts you to this community? What are the benefits? What are the downfalls?

If anyone needs further information or has any needs for a real estate appraisal in Mather, I am glad to assist.
