How Are Median Home Prices Calculated?

Using FHFA House Price Index growth data and integrating it with the latest housing statistics from the American Community Survey, we have computed median home values for 3,110 counties and county equivalents across the United States. It's important to note that these home values reflect the overall worth of all homes in a given area, rather than focusing solely on home sales data.

Presented below are the counties that ranked highest in terms of median home values during the third quarter of 2025, with a monthly mortgage payment surpassing $8,000:

  • Marin County, CA: $1,590,240
  • San Mateo County, CA: $1,569,630
  • Nantucket County, MA: $ 1,533,410
  • Santa Clara County, CA: $ 1,499,480
  • Teton County, Wyoming: $ 1,491,760
  • San Francisco County, CA: $ 1,417,570

Nevertheless, the following counties remain the most affordable areas across the country:

  • Todd County, South Dakota: $49,960
  • McDowell County, West Virginia: $57,100
  • Apache County, Arizona: $ 56,710
