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 fourth quarter of 2025, with a monthly mortgage payment surpassing $7,000:

  • Nantucket County, MA: $ 1,735,310
  • Teton County, Wyoming: $ 1,691,440
  • San Mateo County, CA: $1,601,600
  • Marin County, CA: $1,571,930
  • Santa Clara County, CA: $ 1,558,540
  • San Francisco County, CA: $ 1,335,890

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

  • Stonewall County, Texas: $ 50,680
  • McDowell County, West Virginia: $53,500
  • King County, Texas: $ 54,330
