A Real Life Case Study
In one recent listing we marketed, a road-access lake cabin generated significant interest shortly after being listed. Properties with these characteristics are often among the most sought-after listings in the remote Alaska property market. This property went pending less than 24 hours of going active in the Alaska MLS. It is VERY common for Lakefront Properties to get multiple offers. Multiple offers can even come in while a property is in "Coming Soon" status. This is an option in the Alaska MLS that lets you let other Realtors know that the property is coming available on the market soon. Realtors cannot show the inside of the cabin or home, but their clients can drive by and look at the outside. Typical scenario. One sure way to lose out on your dream Lakefront Property in Alaska is to make a low offer. You will will lose out every time. Two ways you can lose out. Your low offer has insulted the seller and now he would reject ANY offer from you. Or the property gets multiple offers in which case your offer isn't even considered.
Because well-located lakefront properties are relatively limited, demand tends to remain strong over time.
