What do I need to know when buying property in Alaska?
When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Alaska, they said...
"When buying property in Alaska, it is important to research and educate yourself. Determine what type of property you are interested in and understand the ownership restrictions in place. Be prepared to pay higher closing costs than other states since Alaska has some of the highest cost of living. Learn about the property taxes, insurance requirements and homeowner’s or rental insurance in the state. Make sure to get a home inspection for any property you are interested in, and be aware that certain properties come with specific restrictions or requirements. Consider speaking to an Alaska real estate professional to gain local insight and knowledge," explained one expat living in Alaska.
