Alaska Real Estate Tips for Late June

Summer in Alaska may be short, but it’s powerful—long daylight hours and warmer temperatures create the perfect opportunity for homeowners to tackle maintenance and improve property value. Whether you’re planning to sell or just want to enjoy your space more, here are two timely tips for Alaska homeowners:

1. Check & Seal Exterior Gaps Before Fall

Use these warmer, dry days to inspect your siding, foundation, and window frames for cracks or gaps. Summer is ideal for sealing these up to prevent heat loss in winter—and to keep curious critters (and mosquitoes) out. A little caulking now can save on energy bills and headaches come October.

2. Capitalize on Curb Appeal While You Can

Alaska’s natural beauty is your biggest asset—show it off. Trim overgrown trees, tidy walkways, and plant fast-blooming native flowers like fireweed or forget-me-nots. With long days and lots of light, your home can look its best for potential buyers or just your next backyard BBQ.

Bonus Tip: If you're considering selling in the next 6–12 months, now's the time to get exterior photos—before snow and darker skies return.
