Cities with the most expensive homes in the Allentown metro area<\/p>\n

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<\/a> plays a huge role for buyers.<\/p>\n

The typical home value in the United States was $358,968 in January, 0.2% higher than the year before.<\/p>\n

High mortgage rates are also making monthly payments more expensive; as of February 19, the<\/p>\n

sits at 6.01%.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Stacker<\/a> compiled a list of cities with the most expensive homes in the Allentown metro area using data from Zillow<\/a>. Charts show the monthly typical home value since January 2018. Data was available for 42 cities and towns.<\/p>\n
