denslexusgx470 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 That's not a bad size for a 2/1 home. I'll admit, the old house we moved out of was a 1,075 sq. ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Great room only, no family room. SO i guess the rooms in this cozy home is probably quite bigger than the rooms in our old home. Talk about the kitchen we had, a whole new story. Soooo small. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not in alaska, Im FROM there. Im at Fort Drum New York, and i pay ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this house...$0. its paid for. Its FREE, zippo, zilch, notta and nothing. Its called Army housing. But in alaska, this house with its land would run $250-$300,000 in the city of anchorage. No land is not cheaper in anchorage...an acre runs between $35-50,000, and the houses are never less than 200K for the cheapest, smallest houses around. But here in New York, its different.

SW03ES Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 No land is not cheaper in anchorage...an acre runs between $35-50,000 Thats pretty cheap ;) Place looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyofOne Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 No land is not cheaper in anchorage...an acre runs between $35-50,000 Thats pretty cheap ;) Place looks good! Thats for blank, undeveloped land, on the outskirts. with no building, uncleared. avg price for a 3000 sq ft home on 1 acre is about $850-$1,000,000 Go Lakefront, and it gets even more expensive... but the really high cost of living comes into play with normal everyday things... Bread: $4.99 a loaf Milk: $5.99 a gallon (for the stuff thats fresh from alaska...if you want 2 week old milk off of a truck then you pay $3.00) heh...dont get me started on energy/heating costs...

SW03ES Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 If you have 3000 square foot houses on an acre costing 850-1mil an acre must be more than 35-50k uncleared, those ratios don't add up. My bet is an acre is worth more like $200-300k at least if a builder could put an $850k-1,000,000 house on it and have that be feasible. It also depends on whether you're talking about private building lots or for acreage for development. I bet undeveloped subdividable land is worth at least $100k an acre if you can build houses in that range. If not, I'll be buying as many acres of land up there cash as I can right now LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know what the houses cost, but theres very VERY little uncleared land in the city limits, maybe 3 lots total in the whole city when i left, they built as far up the mountains and they can and theres ocean on the other side, but check into it...sometimes you can get good deals on tax repo land, where they sell the land for what is owed to the IRS, usually around fifteen hundred or so dollars. yes a 3,000 sq ft house on an acre will run 850-1 mil. and no, the house is here at ft drum, its where i live LOL. I am From alaska, i am not living there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
