Afraid to Buy Not Knowing How Low Home Prices Will Go?

Don't be. That may be easier said than done though. Right now real estate is no longer a national economy but a local economy. You can't watch the news reports and base your home or the local market on the doom and gloom that the media loves to promote. You must look at your local town and even down to the neighborhood to tell what the market is doing in that area.

Yes, there are certainly concerns for the trouble spots in the market but there is really no need to panic until closer views determine the local market.

Fairbanks real estate has managed to prosper even as the National Market Crumbles. In Fairbanks the economy is strong, prompting low vacancy rates and a healthy job market. Demand is strongest in residential Fairbanks real estate and properties selling at less than $200,000. But for sellers, competition is high in the $300,000 category as well.  The boosts in military personnel stationed at Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base, both in the Fairbanks area, is likely affecting the demand for housing in the region. All this according to the Alaska Journal of Commerce.
