Fancy a move to the US? If you’re feeling flush, Hawaii’s an option. If you’re not, West Virginia’s the place to be.

We teamed up with Zillow to find the median home value of each of America’s 50 states, including Washington, DC.

While there was some fluctuation from last year’s numbers, the highest and lowest state medians are the same: West Virginia – the only state with a sub-$US100,000 ($NZ148,788) median – remains the cheapest, while Hawaii holds its position as the most expensive.

For some states, this median value is heavily impacted by the typical cost of a starter home. Additionally, many states include notoriously expensive metro areas that contribute to higher averages, including California’s many coastal cities and Washington’s unaffordable Seattle neighbourhoods due to the tech boom.
