We live in a time much different from realtors of the past. Decades ago the only way you would know if a house was for sale is by passing a yard sign. You would call us your local realtor and they would look through THE BOOK. About the size of a large phone book would be printed all the imperative details of the current homes on the market. Needless to say it was always outdated. Today the Internet has changed the game, mostly for the good. Buyers are now searching for homes online a year before they intend to purchase. By the time they are ready to view home in person they have a list in hand of what they would like to see. I think this is awesome, however there are a few things that get a little messy.
Alaska is a non-disclosure state, meaning it is not mandatory to notify the local government of the sales price of the property. Sites such as Zillow acquire there information from the tax records. Tax records are very shaky estimates, they are basically guesses. Zillow even tells us how poorly there Zestimate is for Alaska. Take a look https://www.zillow.com/zestimate/#acc
