When people wait until summer to sell or buy a house, they are missing out on the prime springtime options. Contrary to popular misconception, spring is actually the best time to participate in the Anchorage, Alaska residential real estate market. Bonnie Mehner and Bethany Weiser with Mehner Weiser Real Estate at RE/MAX Dynamic Properties recommend getting started earlier in the year, whether you are buying or selling.

The Anchorage, Alaska Springtime Market Advantage

Why Buy a House Now?

In the unique Alaskan climate, the real estate market tends to heat up the same time the weather does. While winter turns to spring, locals decide that the end of harsh weather makes it the perfect time to relocate. Perhaps they want to move to warmer climates or have been waiting to start the moving process until the holidays are over. Either way, this results in many houses getting put on the market all at once, leaving buyers with plenty of options. Lenders in the area know that the market boom is coming, so they are willing to send more money to the Anchorage market and approve buyers for loans.
