Learn moreA real, disclosed spread across sources
Zillow cited an average home value of approximately $256,235 (this record's primary citation); a separate source cited an actual February 2026 median sale price of $210,000; a third cited a July 2026 median listing price of $299,000 (base record).
Genuinely affordable relative to Alaska statewide
All cited figures run below both Alaska's own $400,659 statewide average home value and $420,506 statewide median sale price (per alaska.js) (base record).
A high property tax rate offsets some of that housing affordability
Willow's real, disclosed 1.48% property tax rate -- the highest in Matanuska-Susitna Borough -- means the total cost of ownership runs higher than the sticker home price alone suggests (base record).
