The weather is here.... wish you were beautiful

Fishing Alaska Style

Fishing rules to live by Sorry folks, I couldn't resist. The sun is shining with only a few clouds in the sky - for now. It's supposed to rain later today and tomorrow but it won't matter. The worst day of fishing beats the best day of working, right?

We made it down to our favorite spot on the river without incident and have even been so lucky as to have the place to ourselves. No doubt that will change tomorrow but for now it's peaceful and just about as close to perfect as you can get.

One of the attractions that have kept us in The Last Frontier for so long is the abundant opportunities to get out and enjoy some of the most beautiful country on earth. Fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, camping, off-roading, flying, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, snowmachining... you name it and it's all right here in our very own backyard.

Ready to find your piece of The Last Frontier to call home? Contact us online or call 907.699.6024...

Just give us 'til Monday to call you back. We've gone fishing.

Fairbanks Alaska Real Estate - Home Sales Moving forward

Jesse and Kathy Clifton Spouses Selling Houses Fairbanks Real Estate Outlook
Jesse Clifton, Broker-Associate

Are you falling for the hype? Much is still being made in the national news about the slowdown in the housing market. It seems as though you can't turn on the news without hearing about rising foreclosures, default rates and slow housing starts.

But is it really that bad here in Fairbanks? Not hardly.

The Fairbanks real estate market might not be moving at a breakneck pace but it's far from standing still. In fact there are some segments of the Fairbanks market that are still attracting multiple offers.

Homes in good condition that are priced correctly are selling. We've heard from several buyers recently who were shocked to find out their offer wasn't accepted because the offered price was too low or because another buyer wrote a better offer.

Fairbanks real estate is still moving forward.

In looking at a snapshot of the market more than 62% of the homes sold in the past month sold in less than 60 days.

39% of the sales occurred in less than 30 days.

Of the 140 homes currently in escrow in both Fairbanks and North Pole, 55% were sold in under 60 days. 71% of the current pending sales occurred after spending less than 90 days on the market. That's not what I would call a market in crisis.
