laska Housing Finance Corporation is offering 11 plots of land in the Mat-Su and Fairbanks to Alaska homebuilders, contractors and property developers to facilitate the creation of new housing. Housing developers are invited to submit their interest by April 24, 2026.

One-Time Closing (OTC), often called a single close construction loan, is now a key tool for new construction home financing. At Residential Mortgage, we’re excited to offer our own OTC loan to simplify the path from plans to move-in, with one closing up front and a single set of closing costs. With a traditional two-close process, the borrower finances construction first, then applies later for the permanent mortgage.

Housing conversations are trending nationwide but in Alaska, the discussions carry a unique urgency. Availability and affordability are top of mind not only for prospective homeowners but also for communities facing aging infrastructure, extreme weather and surging energy costs. Building new, energy-efficient homes is not simply a construction goal; it’s an economic and quality-of-life priority.

Anchorage is facing a pivotal moment. Our city’s future, including its economic strength, workforce stability and overall quality of life, relies on housing availability.
