I’m trying to figure out if buyers in Anchorage are still expecting fully renovated houses or if fixer-uppers are actually selling too right now. My place is livable but definitely dated, older kitchen, some flooring issues, and a few things I know buyers will probably complain about. Once I started getting contractor quotes, I honestly started wondering if putting money into repairs even makes sense anymore.

I’ve been looking into different ways people are selling houses up here, and I noticed a lot more people talking about as-is sales lately, including places like Anchorage home buyers.

For people who sold recently in Anchorage or Fairbanks, what repairs actually mattered, and what ended up being a waste of money?

Heading to Cebu and Palawan next month and thinking about getting a luggage cover para iwas gasgas at dumi. Nakita ko sa sub na helpful daw para madaling makita yung bag sa carousel. Pero worry ko lang baka magkaproblema sa baggage handling or matanggal during transit. May mga nakaexperience ba na nasira yung cover or nadagdag lang sa abala. Worth it ba yung added protection o dagdag iintindihin lang sa airport. Would love to hear your experiences before I buy one.

My ex-husband decided to play the hero after our divorce and left me the house. Funny thing is, that’s the same place where he was cheating on me. Real generous of him, right? *sarcasm*

I thought I’d just stay and deal with it. But… I couldn’t… Every corner of that house had memories I didn’t want to relive, so I didn’t come up with a better idea than moving out

I tried to make it work financially by subletting it, but that turned into a headache fast with constant little issues, tenants not staying long, and it just wasn’t worth the stress

Now I’m at the point where I’m just done with it. I came across one of those cash-buying companies and I’m kind of wondering if that’s the simplest way out. Not ideal price-wise, I know, but part of me is thinking maybe peace of mind is worth more than squeezing every last dollar out of it

Right now it feels less like an asset and more like something I just need to get off my plate
