Home values are about 4.7 times the median household income ($111,711). For many buyers, the choice between a conventional loan with a smaller down payment and an FHA loan comes down to credit profile and how much cash they want to keep in reserve.
About 60% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, a mix of long-time owners and renters getting ready to buy.
The median home was built around 1956. Older homes can bring questions about inspections, repairs and appraisal condition, which we help you plan for before you make an offer.
