The September 2021 Alaska Economic Trends Magazine report on the Rental Market, “Many landlords we’ve surveyed consistently for years had sold their units in 2021.  Reasons included downsizing due to the pandemic and taking advantage of the recent strength in the real Continue Reading

Is Our Housing Market Overheated?

May 5, 2021 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

Definitely not. And here’s why. Unlike the housing debacle of the late 1980’s, Anchorage hasn’t had 6,000 residential permits in a single year and hundreds of homeowners are not dropping off the keys to their house to their local lender. It’s true, we’ve had a dribble of Continue Reading

December 16, 2020 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

Your new or home remodel in 2021 may not have a tub in the owner’s bath but rather a large walk-in shower without a ‘curb’ on the shower pan. In fact, it may even be a walk-through shower with 12 x 24 smooth flat tiles without a pattern accent. That’s the latest buzz Continue Reading
