Most buyers choose to drive by your home first before wanting to set an appointment to view. An attractive yard that is free of debris will gain interest quickly. Make sure that trees are trimmed and that your home can be seen from the street. Have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged. Walkways should be swept. Clean away all debris. Remove parked cars or RVs. When in season plant flowers to add color.
Remember, if the buyer does not like the outside, that person simply drives on to the next house. Get your home ready for drive by traffic and give folks something extra nice to look at.

Anchorage real estate market is moving ahead! We do have new financing restrictions coming up on condo's beginning October 1st. This will cause a few hiccups, As of now the restrictions are you have to have more than 75% owner occupancy( for conventional loans), be approved on the FHA and or AHFC housing list( First time homebuyers) You will still as I know now be able to sell VA. If you are going to be selling give me a call to inform you of all changes and how to get past them the best we can to get it sold. For current regulations give me a call or send me an email.
