Post Hunker Real Estate It was a typical summer day out in the bush of Western Australia. Hot and dry, but I was enjoying the solitude hiking through the outback, no steakhouses in sight.

I chanced upon a shady tree and took the opportunity to escape the brutal sun rays and re-hydrate with my canteen. The underbrush was strewn with debris from the tired tree branches, parched and many fallen to the ground. Suddenly, as I approached the trunk, a red-bellied black snake reared up in front of me like a Disneyland surprise in the haunted mansion. It is amazing how a snake can virtually stand erect when threatened, and I froze in place with only 8 feet between me and my adversary.

I am not sure to this day if I was brave, or simply stunned into paralysis, but the two of us just looked at each other for some 30 seconds or so. Then, to my great relief, the snake, non-lethal but able to pack a painful bite, slowly sank to the ground and slithered off to my left and away.

In many a crisis, including the recent pandemic, with all its threatening fury, it pays to be calm and just hold your ground. No need to run, just hunker down and wait for the demons to disappear.

forward. As the crisis slithers away you can start to prepare for life after Covid-19 and I have some thoughts on that:It seems to me that, after studying the masses of scientific evidence and projections, it is likely that social distancing practices will ease somewhat by early May. Although the Virus will still be a threat, some of us will have experienced contact and developed immunity and medical capacity plus improved treatment measures (not vaccine) will be available by the end of April. Numbers of new cases will be coming down.

Each Office Independently Owned and Operated

contact with surfaces or door and cupboard handles.

4) The use of gloves and/or masks subject to discussion and agreement between you as the owner and myself as your Realtor. Gloves and masks have their place depending on circumstances and we should talk about that. We need to be flexible, but careful.

Homebuyers:

Homesellers:

Soon the Bars and Restaurants will be active again, though possibly with less numbers directed by the State and/or City with moderate social distancing.

Interest rates, which have been volatile as the banking industry weighs the cost of money against the risks of economic hardship, will be low or lower. In other words, very attractive, possibly less than 3% for a 30 year fixed rate loan.

The biggest question here is when to go on the market and how to show your home with a measured infection risk. There is still a pent up buyer demand from the beginning of this year with a shortage of inventory under $800,000 and especially under $500,000. My advice is to get your property on the market early before your competition which will flood the market in June and July.

Do not hesitate to start shopping, particularly since most of your efforts can be done online. Also, listing agents will have great photo libraries of property for sale and, in some cases, a virtual video tour, although I have found they don’t work that well and there is no substitute for an onsite viewing even if you have to wear latex gloves and be escorted through a property with distancing.

The specific showing protocols that I recommend are:-

Conclusion:

As May begins, folks interested in buying and selling real estate will be active. I expect accelerating demand with repressed real estate urges being reignited.

1) Pre-screening of homebuyers and their agent in a written format.

Post Hunker Policy:-

2) Limiting the number of persons in the home to 2 (maybe 3) at a time, and no children.

Time to hunker up, that’s what I say!

You have simply had a forced vacation time-out to reflect, but your real estate plans, though deferred, do have a path

3) Visitors to be met outside, with suitable distancing, and tours to be conducted by you as the homeowner with visitors not permitted physical

An Advertising Section of Anchorage Daily News, May 2020

It is my sincere belief that, by June, Alaskans will be largely conducting normal summer activities and lifestyles but with some caution and restrictions. I encourage you to start thinking about a ‘Hunker Up’ attitude and not allow mass consciousness and media to shut you down. I am excited about the future of the State.

How fortunate we are to live in this beautiful, low-density environment.
