Stay away from eBay auctions where 'your high bid is your down payment'. Most of those lots are leftovers from DNR auctions and are being sold to Lower 48er's with Alaska Fever. Usually for 4x what they are worth.

If you seriously want to buy land in North Pole, then your safest bet is to take a trip there, contact a realtor or look over ads and "be sure" to see and walk the land before you buy anything.

OR, you can go to the Santa Claus house and they will sell you one square inch of land at the North Pole....

That's the safest way to do it, since some of the land in North Pole is in the flood zone. Land is quite expensive lately, too, plus having to pay property tax on top of that.

Just curious as to why you picked the North Pole location? Also, have you checked out employment prospects there; I think they'd be few and far between. Just a thought.

Most people who live in NP work in Fairbanks or at Eielson AFB.
