Why You Should Not Buy an Expensive House

Starter homes have been increasing in value at a faster pace than more expensive homes, according to a recent analysis by Zillow. For this study, the real estate data website divided U.S. housing stock into equal thirds based on home values and calculated the median value of the most and least expensive homes. The website describes the supply of the most affordable homes as ?extremely limited,? noting there are almost 18 percent fewer starter homes available today compared with just one year ago.
