Adam's Insight: The national economy has been very interesting for the last 2 years. Inflation is rampant, stocks are high (due to inflation) and wages have stayed stable. Employment has stayed strong between 3.8-4.6% through the rollercoaster. We will see major changes with the AI boom, but they have not started to change the job market yet.

Adam's Insight: Alaska has a different job market when considering Native Alaskans and outsourced jobs. It is wild that more than 43% of the north slope workers are not Alaska residents. The metric is very similar with offshore fishing too. A large percentage of Alaskan workers take the states income and export it back to the lower 48.

Adam's Insight: The interest rates have not changed in the last year. I believed that once President Trump made changes in the #FED, we would see a reduction in interest rates. However, that has not happened. I believe it is due to inflation is slowly increasing and our cost of living is increasing at a faster rate than is digestible by most people.

Adam's Insight: Alaska has longer closing times than in the rest of the country. Most transactions close in 45 days. It means that when a home closes in June, it went under contract in early April. We have hit a high for the year, June had 197 closings for the month of June. July will most likely be even higher.
