Widely Divergent Assumptions in Projected Appreciation; Alaska

[Nick Bruckner]

I see posts in the BP Community about a collapse of the values of MF properties (reduction of cash influx from COVID, rental assistance programs, increasing supply from builders, lagging impact of recession, etc). I also read market forecasts from other agents projecting 24% appreciation over the next 5 years in Seattle, and Alaska. No one has a crystal ball. People read different news sources, and factor different things into their projections and come to drastically different conclusions. I invest and live in Alaska. A good chunk of our state lives in small villages only accessible by road where the cost of living was astronomical before inflation. With fuel delivered once a year, many villages are locked into prices over $9/gallon for gas for the year.  The migration from these rural communities will only get stronger. We have a strong rental market here in Anchorage. MF Properties don't fluctuate as much some other parts of the country have in the past few years, but we have stable, steady growth. Where do you get your data for projections?
