New listing Thursday!

Okay, here is my latest listing here in Wasilla. It is an absolutely fabulous LARGE family home. 2604 sq. feet of beautiful maintained, remodeled and upgraded living space. 1.16 acres fully landscaped, private setting yet a great commute right off the Palmer Wasilla Hwy. All the bathrooms have been remodeled, new flooring, relatively new windows, new appliances, HSA Home Warranty and more!

Thursday's homework

I am working on preparing an 'Intro to Blogging' class for the Valley Board of Realtors. In my search for good blogging locations and information, I have started several new blogs. I am experimenting with different blog sites, trying to decide which ones are more user friendly, which ones have more options, which ones are free and which ones cost more $ than I care to spend.

There are many different options out there. The key is to determine what your goal is and then base your decision on that goal. If you are coming in as a beginner, take the least expensive, most user friendly option available. From there decide how serious you are going to be with blogging. If you will be blogging at least weekly, you may want to move up to a platform that has direct feeds and more bells and whistles. If you are like me and you HOPE to be able to blog at least once weekly you are probably okay to stay with your first option. If you are heavily in to social networking, there are blogs designed to save you time and $ as you post, sending each post to your social network sites.

So, after tomorrow maybe I will have decided just which blog I am going to use, how often I am going to use it and if I am willing to spend $ on it. We will see! Until then...back to the books!

Monday Moonlight!

I woke up last night thinking the moon was very bright only to find that it was not the moon but the sun! We are having the most beautiful, LONG days here in Alaska right now. 73 degrees at our home all weekend and a beautiful 60 degrees today. In Alaska everything is brown and then all of a sudden it all turns the most beautiful subtle green color. About 3 days after that everything is green and lush. It is like it happens overnight here. Just stunning and breathtaking.

I checked interest rates this morning and they are staying low...under 5% for all financing options. Combine the interest rates along with the first time buyer's credit, 5*plus energy rebate, prices that are stable and an inventory that is growing...it couldn't be a better time to purchase or MOVE up from what you are in now. You may lose a little bit on the sale of your home but you will make that up on the purchase of your new home.

I would love to assist buyers or sellers during this beautiful season in Alaska. Please just give me a call or email and I will do what I can to assist you with your real estate needs!
