The Cost To Own a 3-Bedroom Home in Every State

Table of Contents

The three-bedroom house is something of a standard for many American families. They’re a great fit for a family of four, but those bedrooms can just as easily become home gyms, art studios or the ever-popular home office in this age of remote working. If you want enough space for your family but don’t want to buy too much house, three bedrooms can be that simple compromise that splits the difference.

But the price of a three-bedroom home is not the same everywhere you go. Depending on the state you call home, the typical three-bedroom house can list at anywhere from about $149,000 to more than $900,000. That’s why GOBankingRates compiled a study to track the affordability of the three-bedroom house across America.

The states are ranked based on the average monthly mortgage payment for three-bedroom homes — from least to most expensive. For additional context, GOBankingRates included a variety of other important factors that affect overall affordability, like the average size of a 20% down payment and the average effective property tax rate.

The end result is a clearer picture of which states offer a friendly market for those shopping for a modest family home and which will price most people out of the market before they start looking.
