Unlike the average, the median home price shows the midpoint of all home sales — half sold for more, half for less. That makes it a valuable indicator for anyone planning to buy, sell, or relocate.
According to Redfin, the U.S. median home price for single-family homes in May 2025 was $462,206, up just 0.5% year-over-year — despite inventory jumping 15.1% compared to 2024.
For all property types (condos, townhomes, single-family), the national median was slightly lower at $440,913.
States With the Highest Median Home Prices (May 2025)
Some markets remain eye-wateringly expensive due to demand, land scarcity, and strong local economies.
- Washington, D.C. – $1,360,000
- Hawaii – $957,800
- California – $906,500
- Massachusetts – $702,400
- Washington State – $690,100
In these markets, buyers face limited supply, strong competition, and higher carrying costs.
States With the Lowest Median Home Prices (May 2025)
More affordable states can offer entry-level buyers or retirees better value:
- West Virginia – $253,100
- Iowa – $255,200
- Oklahoma – $260,400
- Louisiana – $263,200
- Mississippi – $264,900
These areas benefit from lower demand, cheaper land, and less restrictive zoning.
Florida in Focus: Median Home Price $410,400
Florida stands out as one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the U.S. In June 2025, the median home price in Florida was $410,400, down 2.2% year-over-year — even as national prices ticked upward.
Key Florida trends:
- Median days on market: 70 (up from 57 in 2024)
- Closed sales: Down 3.2%
- Regional softness: Cape Coral, Lakeland, Naples, Sarasota, and parts of South Florida are seeing sharper declines
Why? A pandemic-driven surge of demand sent prices soaring from 2020–2022. Now, higher mortgage rates, rising insurance premiums, and slowing in-migration are cooling the market.
