According to RealtyTrac.com, a foreclosure listing service, one in every 5679 housing units in Alaska had a foreclosure listing in August, 2017 (the most recent data available). 

 

Anchorage Borough had the highest number of August foreclosure listings

(1 in 3,062 units).

What a gorgeous picture, Debra. I get your message. I still get calls from people who want a "deal." When I tell them we really have no deals anymore and haven't for a number of years, they almost always respond by saying they'd happily buy a foreclosure or short sale. We don't have many of those either anymore and those that are out there aren't deals anymore either.
