Foreclosures in Alaska
The housing bubble and subsequent foreclosure crisis in the United States continues to hamper regional housing markets and broad economic recovery, but Alaska was one of the healthiest states in terms of mortgage delinquencies throughout the national collapse, and the state's housing market remains relatively stable. Though Alaska's housing market has cooled since 2006, the state had the third-lowest delinquency rate in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2012.
