Fairbanks Alaska real estate market is stable
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 05:00.The Fairbanks real estate market is staying stable, thanks to some important factors.
There is strength in the local economy, resulting in low vacancy rates and a healthy job market. Demand is strongest in residential properties selling at less than $200,000. But for sellers, competition is high in the $300,000 category as well, said Fairbanks North Star Borough Assessor Patrick Carlson.
