The Most Expensive Housing Market in the U.S.

The real estate market is beginning to show signs of cooling off, but the data shows some cities have a long way to go before the average person can afford a home.

The following list of cities exceeds that percentage by a wide margin, indicating that the housing affordability crisis is still in full swing.

While Jersey City has a lower median home price than the previous two cities at $650,000, median household income is also much lower.
