Value is subjective. Home is where the heart is, after all. But, the cost of “living the dream” varies from state to state and city to city.
Coldwell Banker just released its annual Home Listing Report for 2016, which breaks down the housing prices for every city in every state of the U.S. In partnership with Business Insider, Coldwell Banker created a guide to the most expensive real estate markets in every state.
All prices are the median prices listed for a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in that specific city. All median household income comes from Census.gov. Even if these home prices are out of reach for you (as they are for most people!), it’s still fun to fantasize about the house you’d buy if you won the lotto!
So without further ado, in alphabetical order, here is the most expensive place to live in each state.
