RADON GAS Colorless. Odorless. Tasteless. Radioactive.
T
he chemical element Radon is one of a group of six “noble gasses”: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon. Friedrich Dorn, a German chemist in 1900, found that a gas was given off by Radium as it decays. Today, we know that this gas is from the radioactive decay of Radium, Thorium, or Uranium compounds. The actual effects of exposure had been suspected since the 1700’s due to high numbers of underground miners developing lung cancer. It was not until major studies in the 1950’s, and 60’s discovered that miners were three times as likely to develop lung cancer andit was realized Radon gas was to blame. Even more of a surprise, it was just in 1998 that a detailed study of Iowa housewives, ones who lived the same home for 20 years, that Radon was found to be a factor that caused lung cancer in those who spent most of their time at home. The scope of Radon gas concerns in homes is relatively recent, and we are still learning! Today, from testing data col-
Humans are exposed through in-home air or water.
lected, the EPA estimates that 1 of 15 homes have elevated Radon levels. For us “… there is very little information about Radon in Alaska, we have some projects that were done in the ‘80’s … hot spots include Fairbanks, Delta Junction, Healy and other parts of interior Alaska.” States Jennifer Athey, a Geological and Geophysical Surveys Geologist for Alaska. Tyson Brauneis of Radon Rescue 911 states “Here in the Mat-Su Valley, Anchorage, Eagle River area we’re seeing about 5 out of every 15 homes (tested)” as having action levels of Radon.
this draws soil gases in. Even a slight wind is like blowing across a straw, and increases the house’s negative pressure. Freeze the ground in the winter, and your house is the unfrozen spot in the ice that is an exit point for soil gasses, hence Radon levels increase in the winter, and on windy days.
Today, pCi/L, or picoCuries is the measurement, a Curie being a unit of radioactivity of 1 gram of Radium, and the “pico” means a trillionth … so we are talking small. The Radon Act 51 of 1988 authorized funding for federal and state programs, and endorsed the EPA’s action level of 4 pCi/Ls, which is now a national standard, and many states other than Alaska have their own programs in place. So, only a professional indoor air test can determine Radon levels in your home, and remediation is the solution, both of which are future topics.
Factors influencing radon levels include the actual presence of radon in the ground, a home’s foundation to the ground, or a way for air to enter the home from the ground. Radon levels depend on soil composition, atmospheric conditions, even construction techniques. Your home is hot at the top, cold at the bottom, so as hot air rises and leaks out the top, there is a negative pressure in the crawl space or under slab area, and

The Real Estate Economy
A
writer’s view of history is always slightly biased depending on how the writer looks at the facts, and from what perspective. When, many years ago, I studied the Spanish Inquisition, I found it remarkable what different impressions were presented by a Catholic historian versus a Protestant point of view. Both reported history but the story was quite different depending on the predisposition of the author. One might say it is like comparing Fox News to MSNBC. Real Estate journalists, like myself, will tend to have a bias but, hopefully, the following real estate outlook is soundly based and will help you in making your plans. In line with my February article, the Anchorage Economic Development Council (AEDC) is now confirming that the economic retracement is at a key reversal point - i.e. the good times are about to return, albeit quietly. AEDC mid-year Update:AEDC states that “2018 is marking the point at which we see measurable signs of an economic turn-around”. There is not only progress towards fiscal sustainability at a State Government level, but Oil Industry confidence is returning with prices now re-established around $70 barrel. Whilst Anchorage population has dropped by 2000 over the last 2 years, it is stable at around 297,000 or, to put it another way, the last 6 years has seen very little change, and the next 2 years
won’t either, except I expect a steady acceleration in the next 5 to 10 years. Tourism continues to boom with around 2 million tourists per year (quite impressive) and Anchorage Airport now boasts over 5.5 million passengers per year. On a cargo basis, Anchorage ranks 5th busiest airport on the planet! In summary, there are many reasons for a positive outlook, starting with Oil (and possible Gas Line), plus Tourism and Air Freight. AEDC also reports several military construction projects bringing Federal funds to the State.
“The Anchorage Economic Development Council (AEDC) is now confirming that the economic retracement is at a key reversal point.” The Real Estate Economy So how does real estate fit into this equation? “Resilience” is the word that comes to mind. The last 2 years were definitely a downturn in the economy but real estate held up fairly well, except in the upper price ranges above $700,000 and in New Construction. The average sales price of an Anchorage single family residence (SFR) in 2018 is $373,000 ($366,000 last year). Around 3000 homes sell per year and this has not changed in the last 5 years. Builders are still struggling with new construction volume in 2016, 2017 and 2018 being about half the numbers of homes built in the years 2014 and 2015. In the Mat-Su, however, new construction has been on a ‘tear’ now
3350 Midtown Place Anchorage, AK 99503 Each Office Independently Owned and Operated
for the last 4 years. All this is really about affordability. If you have a home under $500,000 there is no reason not to expect it to sell in 90 days, in Anchorage, Eagle River or in the Valley. Higher priced homes require aggressive and targeted marketing and a pre-planned price reduction strategy to stay one step ahead of the competition.
“The average sales price of an Anchorage single family residence (SFR) in 2018 is $373,000.” Looking forward - - If you are not buying or selling, but just wondering about the value of your Anchorage real estate asset going forward, I have two things to say:1)Vacant Land for expansion of housing in Anchorage is essentially exhausted. Anchorage will always be the population hub of Alaska and, therefore, your asset is guaranteed not to de-value looking forward. 2) With the economic retracement over, and Alaska having a bright future, your home must appreciate in the next 5 years. How much? Between 3% and 5% per annum. The writer’s view of history - - - past, present and future - - - but written with sincere confidence.
