There is a very wide price range for residential real estate. 10k sq ft town lots go for $55K and up. The new subdivision lots are going for around $90K. Homes in service area 1 (Water, electricity, phone, police and EMT services, etc. available) go for slightly under $200K to $500K or more on the shoreline. There are homes, cabins and raw land for sale outside service area 1, IOW "Off the grid" on Mitkoff island or across the Narrows on Kupreanof island if you are up to providing your own water, power and security, and have a boat.
As for the weather, over the past 8 years we have been in Southeast Alaska, the temperatures have not dropped below zero Fahrenheit; seldom below 20 degrees. We get a fair amount of snow, but not nearly as much as the Northeast or Midwest. Petersburg is in the Tongass, a sub-arctic/Northern temperate rain forest. It rains a lot. Most of this past winter it was in the mid thirties and raining. Summer is short. the days are very long and the mid-day temps get into the high seventies.
Thank you. Just sort of checking different areas in case the cartel invasion of lawlessnes and destruction get too horrible here.

Don’t forget to mention just about all commodities are more expensive there. At least that was what I was told.
