I don't know if you have many low slope roofs up there, but low slope metal roofs are a headache waiting to happen in any environment except desert. They leak everywhere in the Midwest, Southeast and East Coast - anywhere you get some precipitation.
I would add...make sure your property is on a foundation. Many areas have perma frost and as the earth rises and sinks, so will your floor. Some cabins or older properties are built prior to certain codes...particularly in AK where many communities are places where codes are not required, people build on the cheap. They build with what they have. Some homes (usually those more remote) are not necessarily constructed by someone who knew what they were doing and there are some funky places out there!
That is a great point!
Been thinking of moving to Alaska for a little while now and your channel is perfect for research on it, keep up the great work!
Thank you! I am open to video suggestions btw 😃
I would definitely look into the permit process and fresh water and sewer, too! We had a nightmare property that the previous owner did nothing to code. Luckily, the value to us was in the land and location.
Great videos, look forward to meeting you in person!
Ooh! That’s a good one! Looking forward to it 😃
Thank you for the great info! Homer is on my short list of places to relocate. Can you give me an idea of the square feet cost to have a house built? Thank you!
Good list! Great job!
You are so informational. Thank you so much. Right now we are trying to gather as much information as we can about moving. 😊 Also, you seem to be really looking out for your buyers.
Avoid the igloos, their value melts away during the summer. 😁
😂😂😂
Never buy a property sight unseen. Read that sentence as many times as it takes to sink in.
So how do you know how to detect people who are hiding issues? Our inspector missed a few items.
One or two things is understandable, but if there’s a pattern of obvious things they should know, I would throw the red flag
Did I get it right that brick is not favorable in Alaska?
It’s not the favorite because earthquakes can crack the mortar between the bricks
Almost all homes have a brick foundation. Either concrete block (the most common) or a slab. Some older homes have a wood foundation and sometimes those can be ok if they're built right.

haunted homes Boooooooo
The boogie woogie man is not real dude. And a river in basically the same place for thousands of years is not going to be erodeding your property away at a foot a year. Nor could you even tell the property was erodeding away that fast. Fast being a relative term. One foot in one year is pretty slow, and you could never tell it was that much just by going and looking the property over a few times over a couple weeks.
Yes, haunted homes !! 😊
Is that “Yes!” as in you want a haunted house or you don’t want a haunted house? 😂
LOL!!!😂
@@alaska_realtor Yes, as in a video on haunted houses in Alaska would be neat. However, no. I do not want a haunted house because I’m spooky enough as it is.😂
