Appraisal
after the appraisals come on the comps there seems to be a stipulation on being able to sell the house in a certain time frame...90 days for example...then they look at comp homes that sold in that specific timeframe and base the appraisal on that...depending on where u live this could be awful in this market...probably comped with short sales and forclosures...it is not a good deal in this market....if u r going to use the third party program do some research on the stipulations....it is not spelled out in the contract!
I posted this on an earlier thread, but FedEx easily has over $100,000 invested in my move alone when you figure the $50,000 loss + real estate commisions they are going to take on the sale of my house (they cashed me out and promptly dropped the price of my house $20,000 less than they paid me - it still hasn't sold btw and it's been lowered again). I did the Option 1 move in August before things really went south.

The paperwork was surprisingly painless, the inspection process was a pain. When it was all said and done with I was paid within 24 hours via direct deposit.

Anchorage, AK real estate overview - Trulia.com
Over the last year, prices have dropped a whopping 1.6% in ANC. Higher priced homes have gone up...dramatically in some areas the crews live in. (Hillside +8.8%, avg home price $775k, Eagle River +1.7%...)
Sure doesn't look like a bubble in ANC...looks more like some folks will be selling out at close to the market peak...

Rather than spouting generalities from 2,800 miles away...here's the data:

I've been thru the Option 1 move process. The relocation company will supply you a list of approved appraisers in your area. You pick the two you want and they come out and do a "relocation inspection." If the prices come back within 5% of each other they average the two and that is your buyout offer. If they aren't within 5% they involve a third appraisal. There is no timeframe you have to list your house. You can take the buyout from day 1.

What about the junior Capt's that will get pushed out of ANC by all the Mempho guys protecting their Capt seat?

I think it is pretty standard. The house I'm in now, I bought from Serva. The owner, (a doctor) was transferred out of town, and Serva paid her $348K. They turned around and listed it for $325K. I bought it for $305K 3 months after the doctor moved out.
