The market does not operate in the conventional sense, as properties are not typically bought and sold but allocated based on community needs and policies. These homes are often simple, functional, and designed to withstand the harsh climatic conditions of the region. Due to its remote location, there is minimal development, which means that housing infrastructure can be basic, and maintenance can be challenging due to logistical constraints.

Residents often engage in community events, gatherings, and support networks that are integral to the social fabric.
