Time to Test Your Alaska Real Estate Knowledge

June 10, 2021 by Connie Yoshimura Leave a Comment

In my forty years of real estate, never have I seen a market quite like this.  Not even during the oil boom of the early 1980’s.  It is the perfect storm of almost historic low interest rates and lack of inventory due to years of under home building generated in part by the stranglehold of over regulation by the adoption of Title 21. This is true, specifically to the horizontal development of roads, water and sewer without any Municipal contribution for off-site costs. So here’s how the market is now.  Let’s take a test.
