Newport Beach, California named most expensive U.S. market, Cleveland most affordable.

MADISON, N.J. - Nov. 10, 2015 // PRNewswire // - West Coast may think it's the #BestCoast, but according to the Coldwell Banker® Home Listing Report (HLR), it's also the most expensive. Today, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, the original Silicon Valley real estate startup founded in 1906, released its annual HLR, revealing that half (50) of the top 100 most expensive markets in the United States are in California, with Newport Beach topping the list where the average listing price of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is $2,291,764. In contrast, Cleveland ranked as the most affordable market for the third consecutive year, with an average four-bedroom, two-bathroom home listed at $74,502 –– a listing price difference of $2.2 million when compared to country's most expensive market.

"The beauty of Newport Beach combined with the continued tech sector growth in Silicon Valley is powering California's dominance of the most expensive communities in our report," said Budge Huskey, president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. "On the opposite side, home affordability coupled with the economic and cultural renaissance makes Cleveland very attractive. We see that 45 percent of the most affordable markets are in the Midwestern states."

The annual report is the most extensive home price comparison tool currently available in the United States, ranking the average listing price of four-bedroom, two bathroom homes in more than 2,700 markets. While other affordability reports provide average or median prices for all homes in a given area, the Coldwell Banker® HLR analyzes more than 81,000 four-bedroom, two-bathroom home listings to better address how much a home in one market would cost if the same home were located somewhere else in the country.

"We're thrilled to see Newport Beach back on top of this year's most expensive market ranking," said Jamie Duran, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage for Orange County and San Diego companies. "Known for its picturesque beaches and exclusive dining, shopping and culture, Newport Beach has all the amenities and vibrant economy to make it home to the world's luxury lifestyle connoisseurs."

The average listing price for a home in Newport Beach is seven and a half times the national average and 30 times the cost of a similar home in the country's most affordable market, Cleveland.

"Cleveland's community, revitalized downtown and renewed sense of pride have contributed to the rapid growth in this market," said Ed Dolinsky, president of Coldwell Banker Hunter Realty in Cleveland. "Many first-time home buyers and young professionals are looking at Cleveland as an affordable place to settle down and enjoy all of the great things the city has to offer."

Key Highlights from the 2015 Coldwell Banker® Home Listing Report:

  • All of the top 100 affordable markets in the country have an average listing price under $135,000.
  • Meanwhile, all of the top 25 most expensive markets have an average listing price of $1 million or more.
  • The national average listing price of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is $302,632, which on average can buy a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in more than 1,600 markets across 34 states.
  • California accounts for nine of 10 of the most expensive markets in the U.S.
  • Forty-five (45) of the 100 most affordable markets are found in Midwest states.
  • Even though California accounts for half of the top 100 most expensive markets, it is only ranked the third most expensive state in the country.
