wasilla: Escape The Matanuska Wind - 01/10/10 11:03 PM
I thought I'd make a video today about the Matanuska Wind. This wind howls down the Matanuska River Valley in the winter. Usually we get 5-6 good wind storms a winter. These usually last several days each and there is no where to hide. Well, almost no where. The Butte area … (4 comments)

wasilla: This Buyer Hit The Jackpot ! - 11/23/09 01:52 AM
We just helped a buyer close on this brand new home with a fantastic loan. This buyer just happened to hit all the right qualifications for interest rate reductions. She ended up with a 4.375 fixed 30 year loan. AND she received $15,500 back after closing, AND she paid ZERO … (5 comments)

wasilla: Technology and Real Estate - 04/12/09 02:16 AM
I got an Iphone today. It made me aware of how much technology has changed the way we do business.
I remember my first experience on the Internet when I was the tech worker at the University of Alaska library in Fairbanks back in 1981. I kept the copy machines running, … (0 comments)

wasilla: Community Councils, Get Involved Now ! - 11/14/08 11:38 AM
Community Councils…Get Involved Or Don’t Complain.
We just had a presidential election in which about 60% of the registered voters in Alaska participated. Some people think that is a pretty good turnout, I think it’s pathetic. BUT, what people don’t think about is that local government actually has more effect on … (0 comments)

wasilla: Rehab Loans For Alaskan Investors - 08/19/07 02:03 AM
I often talk with people who are interested in purchasing “fixer-uppers” as an investment in Wasilla and Palmer. Problem is, usually these properties are so degraded that they don’t qualify for financing and the investor is stuck in a catch-22. It is the kind of house that you can make money … (1 comments)

wasilla: Marty's Mat-Su Market Memo - 04/25/07 12:20 PM
This week's statistics for the Wasilla Real Estate News show a continued healthy real estate market. The inventory is dropping. The closed sales remain in the twenties but the pendings are starting to grow. There is still a huge gap between the average sales price and the average asking price. That is … (2 comments)

wasilla: Valley Trash... - 03/31/07 10:52 PM
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough, "the valley", has had an inferiority complex for years. Wasilla was only a wide spot in the road on your way to Fairbanks until about 25 years ago. Palmer was where you went to the state fair. Other than that, the valley has been playing second, or third fiddle to most … (4 comments)

wasilla: Do You Need It? Or Do You Want It? - 03/11/07 01:29 AM
Way back in January I wrote about the five steps to buying the right house in Palmer or Wasilla, and I said I would follow up on each of the five steps. The first was to pre-qualify and then I dropped it...so I'm following up with the second step.
You have … (0 comments)

wasilla: Wasilla and Palmer Real Estate...New Construction - 02/08/07 11:51 AM
New construction has become a major force in our market. Before 2004 most new homes were pre-solds. That is, the buyer would decide they wanted a new home, they would contract with the builder to build the home before any actual construction had begun. This pre-sold market was a reaction by … (1 comments)

The cities of Palmer, Wasilla, Houston have true zoning. Here are the zoning maps for Palmer, Wasilla, and Houston. These maps are similar to what we generally think about when we hear the term "zoning". The maps are also useful in that they delineate the city boundaries.
