Cities with the most expensive homes in the Lawrence metro area

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 tremendously rise 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 $364,891 in September, 0.0% higher than the year before.

High mortgage rates are also making monthly payments more expensive; as of October 16, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 6.27%.
