With an estimated 43,196 residents, Altoona is a sizable community, with roughly 4,412 people per square mile. Local housing costs, property types and how long homes have been owned all shape which loan fits best, so we start with your plans and the property, not a one-size-fits-all product.

The Altoona housing market at a glance

The estimated median value of owner-occupied homes in Altoona is $119,900, about 26% below the Blair County median of $161,100. Statewide, the Pennsylvania median is $254,500.

Home values are about 2.3 times the median household income ($51,250), relatively moderate compared with many markets. That can make it easier to plan for a larger down payment or a shorter loan term.

About 64% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, a mix of long-time owners and renters getting ready to buy.

The median home was built around 1944. Older homes can bring questions about inspections, repairs and appraisal condition, which we help you plan for before you make an offer.
