Check this out.

In 2005, by this date, 11/20/2005 in the Matanuska Susitna Valley:

1,416 houses were sold
$204,000 was the average price
517 of those sales, or 36 percent, were new construction
Median household income was $57,000
Mortgage rate was 5.9 percent

In 2025, by this same date in the Matanuska Susitna Valley:

1,538 houses were sold
$442,000 was the average price
309 of those sales, or 20 percent, were new construction
Median household income is $90,000
Mortgage rate is 6.2 percent

Inflation over that period has been about 80 percent. Median household income has risen only 59 percent. Average house prices have increased 117 percent.

That's the bite...

In order to keep up with house prices, the median household income would need to be $123,000, but it is only $90,000.

So what is the fix?

This sweet 3 bedroom home is ready for its next family. 🏡

The yard is perfect, ready for play and a clean slate for anything you can imagine. Garden, goats, winter hockey rink……🤔💭

The chickens can stay if you want as well!!!!🐓

This sweet 3 bedroom home is ready for its next family. There is plenty of space to move. Its large kitchen and living room are great and its extra office/dinning is a bonus. The best bonus is the 2 acres this house sits on. The yard is very well established and ''can'' come with chickens. That said...
