Starter Homes: A Dying Breed

Starter homes have evolved from affordable, fixer-uppers to larger, more expensive properties, with median home prices soaring to $410,800. Builders focus on high-margin luxury builds, and buyers demand extras like multiple bathrooms and garages. First-time shoppers face stiff competition for the few small homes available, often resorting to building their own. However, recent trends show a slight increase in smaller homes, with cities easing lot-size rules and states promoting starter-friendly builds. Despite this, inventory remains tight due to owners with low-rate mortgages holding onto bigger homes. Checkout Solipillow.com

Eisenhower's Pen Marks Alaska's Statehood

This pen, now preserved at the University of Alaska Anchorage archives, symbolizes the everyday tools that marked significant historical events. Eisenhowers reluctance towards statehood due to Alaskas lack of infrastructure and potential Soviet threats was eventually overcome, leading to Alaskas admission as the 49th state. The ceremony, attended by key Alaskan figures and Vice President Nixon, marked a significant moment in Alaskas history. Checkout Solipillow.com
