Disclaimer: The average price table is NAR's best estimate. Unlike the median home price, the average home price is influenced by outliers. Due to rapid price gains in recent years and more sales at the very high end, there is less reliability associated with the average price. There is a break in the average price between 2019 and 2020, and therefore should not be compared. A newer methodology was applied in 2020 to better account for outliers of high-priced homes.
