Purchasing a home is one of the most important investments there is. More than a place to live, homeownership is an asset with the potential to rise tremendously in value. But with home prices reaching record heights, affordability plays a huge role for buyers. The typical home value in the United States was $358,461 in December, 2.6% higher than the year before. High mortgage rates also make monthly payments more expensive; as of January 16, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 7.04%. Although home prices have inflated all across the U.S., some cities command a higher price tag than others. Location, size, age, and condition contribute to home value.
