Another Slow Year in Anchorage Homebuilding

December 8, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

For Anchorage homebuilders, 2014 is almost over and the home building statistics do not look good. Despite all the community meetings regarding the need for more housing and MOA’s promises of more efficient permitting, our 2014 single family permits will not even match the Continue Reading

DOES YOUR PET HURT YOUR HOME VALUE?

November 21, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

In 2014 the U.S. will spend an estimated $58.51 billion in pet industry expenditures.  68% of U.S. households own a pet and 12% of pet owners allow their pets to sleep in the same bed with them.  The ‘Disney’ humanization have made animals more than man’s best friends; they Continue Reading

Understanding the Difference between Pre-Owned and New Construction Pricing

October 10, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

The vast majority of realtors in our local market sell pre-owned or resale homes. Especially, in Alaska, where new home construction remains at record lows, realtors develop an expertise in a certain price point or geographic location for resale homes. They look for Continue Reading

Consider the Owner-Occupied Duplex as a Lifestyle Choice

September 26, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

Eighteen years ago, I downsized from a single family home to an owner-occupied duplex.  Back then, it was an unusual housing choice for a realtor to make and even today, friends and colleagues still ask me why I made that move. But, personal reasons aside, an owner-occupied Continue Reading

September 12, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

Today is the last day of the Anchorage Parade of Homes with 23 entries open from noon to 6 pm. So, put down your coffee cup, take that last bite of Fire Island’s savory scone, or for me, the buckwheat cinnamon roll, cut in half and shared with my husband, and head on out to Continue Reading

More on Price Per Square Foot

August 15, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

     My article two weeks ago on evaluating homes on a price per square foot basis created some controversy as a result of misinformation on my part and for that I apologize. The public website of Alaska MLS does NOT have a field for price per square foot and so that Continue Reading

Price Per Square Foot? Better take a Closer Look

August 1, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

     One common mistake buyers  make when considering a home purchase, whether pre-owned or brand new, is to judge the home  by price per square foot.  And when our local Multiple Listing Service created a field for price per square foot on its listing form, allowing buyers Continue Reading

It’s all about the kitchen

July 18, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

     I love kitchens.  I imagine the rich aroma of homemade banana bread with just a touch of cinnamon coming out of the top double oven; the scratch of the saute pan on the five-burner Jennair stove top as my husband stirs lemon risotto; the morning sound of water bursting Continue Reading

The New Multi-Town?

July 13, 2014 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

     Anchorage may be a ‘big wild life’ place to live for now, but it is fast becoming a multi-family community with more building permits for multi-unit dwellings than single family homes.  The mid-year building statistics are a stark reminder that our single family homes Continue Reading
