Among The Most Affordable!

On September 9, 2008, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation released their 2008 Home Price Comparison Index. The HPCI, which was launched in the 1980’s, provides an apples-to-apples comparison of similar type 2,200 square feet, four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bath homes in 315 markets across the United States.
This year La Jolla, California, topped the chart as the most expensive real estate market with a price for the subject home of $1,187,667. Sixteen hundred miles away Sioux City, Iowa, was the most affordable city in the U.S. with a price of $133,459.
Tulsa reported an average price of $154,200 for the study making it the fifteenth most affordable market in the U.S. Tulsa compares to the average price of homes in Augusta, Maine ($152,947) and Chattanooga, Tennessee ($158,000).
