A real, disclosed median listing price

Rocket cited a Houston, AK median LISTING price of approximately $310,000 (up 7.8% YoY, May 2025 data) -- this record discloses honestly that this is a listing price, not a confirmed closed-sale median (base record).

Below the broader Mat-Su Valley median

Houston's figure runs below the broader Mat-Su Valley median of approximately $435,000, with Wasilla and Palmer typically running higher and Big Lake spanning the area's widest range due to waterfront pricing (base record).

Below Alaska's own statewide average

Houston's cited figure also runs below Alaska's own approximately $400,659 statewide average home value (per this project's Alaska state record) (base record).

Confirm current, address-specific listings directly

Given the listing-price (not closed-sale) nature of this record's primary figure, confirm current listings and recent comparable closed sales directly with a local agent before setting a firm budget.
