Why Mat-Su Valley is Leading the Way in Alaska Home Market

December 27, 2025

Whether you’re considering a move within or to Alaska, the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Valley is where new homes are being built. This isn’t just an increase in Wasilla Alaska homes; this is a significant shift in where people are choosing to live. We’re part of that growth, with our Crystal Forest, Emerald Ridge, and Stone Creek communities of new construction homes.

One reason for this change is the simple fact that Anchorage no longer offers the space and affordability it used to. Today, lots are small, prices are high, and there are significantly more zoning issues to juggle.

The Mat-Su Valley, particularly Wasilla and Palmer, offers the space people dream of when they envision their life in Alaska. There is less red tape, and larger, more affordable lots and homes. It’s easier to find generous lots with mature greenery where you can build a comfortable home that will meet your needs for years to come. Our communities, in particular, let you enjoy the wilderness of Alaska with all the creature comforts of a well-appointed home.

This translates to brand new homes built with the latest building processes and materials that are around the same price as buying an older home in Anchorage. This affordability and accessibility is keeping builders busy all year long, so you can choose to buy a brand new move-in-ready home or build your own home from scratch. Our communities offer a mix of homes and lots to meet your needs and time schedule.

In addition, you’re more likely to find a solid sense of community here in Mat-Su Valley, as the majority of home buyers are families, remote workers, and tradespeople who want a welcoming place to call home. You’re less likely to find investors only interested in flipping for a profit; you’ll find people like yourself who appreciate the region and stick it out all year long, making it easier to build neighborly connections and experience real stability.

Even in the heart of winter, teams are building new homes to keep up with the steady demand. This further aids the local community, as well, as it keeps local businesses going all year long, and also limits the likelihood of booms and busts in the housing market. These are just some of the reasons why people are looking for Wasilla Alaska homes in the Mat-Su Valley. This is where you can find homes that offer the space, price, and modern comforts that will appeal to a broad cross-section of Alaska residents.
