What Can You Buy for $1,200? In This Town, It’s a Square Foot of House

24/7 Wall St. Insights

• We use Realtor.com’s monthly inventory metro data.
• We look at the 50 cities with the highest median listing prices per square foot.
• The #1 may not be surprising to you.

The price of a home is 47% higher than it was in early 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 2024, these high prices and mortgage interest rates have remained elevated. The price per square foot varies nationwide, ranging from $303 to $1,279. When one is paying over $1,000 per square foot, a lot of money would only get you a small home.

24/7 Wall St. reviewed 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 with the highest median listing prices per square foot in February 2024. Ties were broken using the median list price. The median listing price per square foot in February 2023 and median listing price in February 2024 also came from Realtor.com. From the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey five-year estimates for 2022, we added median household income and population.

Because of our population threshold, the cities on the list do not include several small towns, such as Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, or Jackson, Wyoming. These and other similar, smaller, expensive towns are known seasonal vacation spots for wealthier visitors, even if the local residents are far less wealthy.

Among the cities on the list where you would currently pay the most per square foot, 15 cities are in California, five in Florida, four are in Washington state, and three each are in Montana and Hawaii. While many also rank among the 50 most expensive housing markets based on median list price, several, including Miami and Panama City, Florida, do not.

Why This Matters

In the United States, the cost of buying a home can vary depending on the region of the country. In some locations, the availability of homes is limited, driving up the price based on demand. Understanding where these places are can assist in finding affordable housing in this ever-changing real estate market.
