6 Most Expensive States to Buy a House in This Year

By Melanie

Alaska

Alaska’s median sale price: $358,900
Alaska’s median sale price to household income: 6.1

Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, comprising a total area of more than the three largest states, Texas, California, and Montana combined, and the 7th largest subnational division in the world.

It’s the 3rd least populated while at the same time the most sparsely populated state. Approximately half of Alaska’s residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area.

Worth mentioning is that oil was discovered at Prudhoe Bay in 1968, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was finished in 1977. This resource has since contributed to about 90 percent of this expensive state’s economy.

When was the Washington Monument moved across the country? How is Montana the most densely populated state? Why do I bother reading such stupid lists?

“But its population of more than 20 million people in 2020 makes it the 4th most populous metropolis in the US. Two-thirds of the state’s population resides in the New York metropolitan area. This city is also the premier gateway for immigration into the US.” Many believe NYC is NYS. With 2/3 of the population of the state in that small area, consider how nice the rest of the state is with its beauty, natural resources, fresh air etc. Why anyone would prefer an urban jungle is beyond me. I do live in NYS but not in NYC.
