Across America, housing prices have escalated for a variety of reasons. Interestingly, one contributing factor to the rising market was the global pandemic, which allowed many individuals across the nation to work from home. These people were suddenly free to purchase homes outside the city where they worked, which had the effect of forcing prices to rise in areas that were previously considered affordable.
Housing across the country varies in terms of price-point and housing market, with some states being much more affordable than others. California is consistently ranked among the states with the priciest homes. Though most of the excessively costly real estate exists in cities like San Francisco and LA, the housing market remains high throughout the state. Another state that tops the list of soaring real estate prices is Hawaii. The island state joins the ranks due to its highly desirable gorgeous scenery and limited plots of land, in addition to its distance from the main 48. Despite the variation in housing costs across state lines, each state has its most expensive areas, alongside more affordable regions.
Among the cities on the list, the median listing price ranges from nearly $585,000 to over $1.7 million — well above the national median listing price of $415,500 in February. While the cities span the country, 13 are in California, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. Five cities in Washington state also made the list, as well as four in Montana, and three each in Hawaii, Colorado, Idaho, and Florida. Clearly, the West region is more represented. However, Boston and New York City are also on the list.
24/7 Wall St. wanted to find the most expensive housing markets in the country. To get our data, we reviewed the real estate listing website Realtor.com’s monthly inventory metro data. While Realtor.com has over 920 markets, we only considered cities with a population of 25,000 or more. Here we listed the 50 cities where homes had the highest median listing prices in February 2024. The median listing price in February 2023 and the median listing price per square foot also came from Realtor.com. From the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey five-year estimates for 2022, we added median household income, the percentage of households earning more than $200,000 a year, and population.
Why This Matters
There are a number of reasons why a city may have higher than average real estate costs ranging from limited land, higher cost of living, and access to amenities such as nearby shopping, high-quality schools, convenient transportation, and plenty of parks. However, these perks will cost you. If you are planning a move to one of these expensive cities, it’s good to be aware of the higher real estate prices.
