The typical home value in the United States was a record $351,423 in August, 1.3% higher than the year before.
High mortgage rates are also making monthly payments more expensive; as of Sept. 21, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 7.19%.
Although home prices have inflated all across the U.S., there are some cities that command a higher price tag than others. Location, size, age, and condition are all contributing factors to home value.
Stacker compiled a list of cities with the most expensive homes in the Palm Bay metro area using data from Zillow. Charts show the monthly typical home value since January 2018.
