Today I'm going to be speaking about the buyer's side of the market here in Anchorage. Hopefully this information will make your home purchase easier and also more efficient.

Across the board inventory is fairly low. We're sitting below three months of inventory right now, so homes are not all that plentiful right now. When you get into $0-$400K range those inventory levels dip even lower.

As a buyer, you will have less to pick from. This means you'll need to be decisive and ready to jump on a home when you find one that you like.

One thing that you should do immediately if you want to buy a home is speak with a local lender. This will help to figure out what you can afford, and this will make your home search much easier. You won't waste time looking at homes that you cannot afford.

Once this is done you can begin looking at homes. However, you need to remember that inventory is low and that you'll need to make decisions quickly. There just aren't a lot of homes around, so the good ones are being bought up quickly.

This is where we can come in and assist you with writing a compelling offer, especially if there are multiple offers on the home. There are many ways to grab the attention of a seller, and we can do that for you.


If you have any questions about this information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be happy to help you!

Today I'd like to update you on the inventory levels here in Anchorage and Eagle River. Overall, inventory is relatively low, and we're under a three month level. This means that we're in a seller's market because there are less homes available.

• Anywhere under $400K there is about a 1-2 month supply of homes, so sellers can reap big benefits if they have a home of this value for sale.
• From $400K to $600K we have more inventory and homes are sitting on the market for a little bit longer. The key to selling these homes is pricing them right and making sure that they are in good condition.
• From $600K to $750K we have about six months of inventory, which means that the market is balanced between buyers and sellers. Buyers will have an easier time buying these homes.
• If your home is worth more than $1 million, we have roughly 23 months of inventory, which means that you're in a buyer's market. 

Overall, the real estate market is very good here for buyers and sellers. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're looking to buy or sell a home in Anchorage.
