How much does it cost to do a Real Estate closing in AK, Generally speaking ..

Depends on the agreement and time of year on pro-rated property taxes, but usually if you split the closing cost with the seller
it runs around 300 to 400 dollars.

What happened to the Mat-Su website ? Trying to get in contact with the Assessor up there .

Hey CB, why don't you rent before you commit totally???

Anyone else get a May sale Top Lot Certifacate in the mail

I didn't think you got a top lot cat?????

Hey, and BTW,your roast is still in my freezer. One of these days I'll send it up to MTV.

MTV ? Is that Moron Television?

Mountain Villa......it's in the Alps, don't you remember???? When you were with Easy Company, you found Hilter's Hideout up there....

Once the house is sold, I will have to buy something right away. That's why I am doing all the research online first !

Isn't it fun having me pester you all with questions about Alaska ???


After I got done talking to the folks down in Florida, I was completely turned off with moving to Florida!! Awful taxes!!!

There is a suprising amount of property available up in AK. Just have to weed through the bad stuff.

You live in NY and you're complaining about taxes in Florida?

I didnt think I did either...it was only for a $220 cat and I know top was higher than that..perhaps one of the guys in the know could explain that....but it did make me feel all warm and fuzzy
and Thanks Kusko....if I was ever in Bethel I was going to stop in and Bug you for a piece
And White is too old to ever have watched MTV

LOL ! White has good taste and judgement !

yukon, thay now break top lots into more then one cadagory for the same species. it will say on the cert. what it is for.

they shut the site down cause we have no more land for sale last property sold last week!

All it had was the lot number and Alaska Lynx...looks official..LOL

Whoa whoa whoa!!!!! I'm pretty sure I had one trickle in at that price too...... COULD THERE BE A CHANCE??????????

Found the current site. Apparently, I was viewing the old site.

Plenty of land for sale for an Eastern Entrepreneur !!



I can see I am going to fit right in!! Why , some of those areas look just like home !!! You all can spare a few acres for me.

Right????

I can see you have never lived in the land of taxes, taxes and more taxes. LOL

Now, truth be told, that Florida retirement thing was NOT MY IDEA !! I was talked into it . Once I checked into it further and talked to the Assessor down there, those cheap foreclosed properties were not so cheap after all!! Give you all an example:

I checked out one property down in Lee County , Florida. A REO property. The bank was asking $58,000. I checked the assessment on that property and it is assessed for $170,000.00. I called the Aseessor down there to see if the Assessment would get reduced since the property is only going for $58,000 . They said NO !! Then, I took another look at the tax bill for that property. Tax for this , tax for that. .. They got more taxes and fees than I do !!

That last thing that threw out the Florida move , was when I looked at a 360 degree street map view of the neighborhood!!! Houses built so close together it is unbelievable !! Almost every backyard seems like it has some sort of canal running through it! I did not mention the 4-LANE ROAD the house is on!! What was that Realtor thinking ???

All I need is a house with 2 bedrooms, good sized front and back yards, not too close to neighbors so they don't complain about my tablesaw running!! :), House on a road that is open all year and PLOWED ! I've lived on dirt roads before, that is no big deal. I can handle a well and septic , although a house connected to Public Sewer would be ideal !!


The more I look at it, the more I understand why people live in Alaska!

Better weather> We had about 35 degrees this morning around 0430. Still not up to 40 yet at 0730.

I can handle it. I am a New Yorker !! & I can see Canada from my house !! Not all of Alaska is -70 degrees

Got to go.. Buried in SUP'S for the rest of the week!!
