"Est. monthly payment" uses each city's median home price with the same default assumptions as the mortgage calculator (15% down, 6.5% rate, 30-year term) — enter your own numbers there for an accurate figure. Cities without a verified median price show "Data coming soon" instead of a guess.
Check your buying power to see which of these cities actually fit your budget.
