Alaska Real Estate
First of all, yes I know it’s not Monday. With so many offers and showings and new listings flying, the Monday Morning Mojo ended up on the back burner this week. 😀 I know that many of you tune into my local “Market Trends” report, but I’m overdue for a more personal post-lockdown […]
Hi! I hope you all are doing well! I’ve been asked about the effect the shelter-in-place mandate is having on the local real estate market, so I wanted to be sure to keep everyone in the loop, as well as give an update on recent market activity. Let’s start with market activity and check out […]
Hello! As you probably know, I typically send out a weekly market trends report (and have been for years now) for the Wasilla, Palmer, Eagle River, and Anchorage areas. I’ve had a TON of people tell me that they’ve been tuned into it for years and that the information is super helpful. They are […]

Each scenario has to be looked at individually, and very carefully. I’ve seen everything from buyers purchasing, fixing, and flipping at a […]
Hi! Enjoying the awesome daylight that we’ve been gaining recently? There’s a little warmth to the sun now too! As the days get longer, the real estate market is picking up as well, and will continue to get more and more active heading into late winter/spring. Today I’ll share some of the ways that […]
Slight Seller’s Advantage While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks, prices have settled in a bit of a plateau. We are currently in a Seller’s market so prices will likely resume their climb should this trend persist. .~ Tait Check out the latest market report for […]
Slight Seller’s Advantage While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks, prices have not seemed to move from their plateau.
