About Alaska
Selling a house in Alaska
Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area, with Juneau as its capital and Anchorage as by far its largest city; Fairbanks and Juneau are the next largest. Its economy rests on North Slope oil and gas, commercial fishing and seafood processing, tourism, and a large federal and military presence.
Alaska is home to about 740,133 people across 29 counties. We buy houses in every one of them, from Anchorage Municipality, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Fairbanks North Star Borough, and Kenai Peninsula Borough to the smallest rural counties, and in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau city and, Wasilla, Sitka city and, and Ketchikan.
Its economy runs on oil and gas, fishing and seafood processing, tourism, federal government and military, mining and healthcare. Major employers include ConocoPhillips Alaska, Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Doyon, Limited, Cook Inlet Region, Inc., GCI, and Northrim Bank, and the state is home to University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and Alaska Pacific University. Visitors know it for Denali National Park and Preserve, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Alaska SeaLife Center.
Alaska's housing skews mixed in age: 37% of homes predate 1980, and 33% of households rent, while 18% of housing sits vacant. New or old, we buy houses here as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Rentals sell with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Selling a house in Alaska closes through a title company, which records the deed with the county and settles any liens or back taxes from the sale. Official information is on the state's portal, Alaska.gov, and property tax questions go to the Alaska Department of Revenue.
