Every price on this page is an asking price on an active listing, taken from the MLS feed and our own copy of it as of this edition. A starter home here is a home that states under 1,200 square feet or asks under $250,000. A small home that asks more and a larger home that asks less are both counted. Asking price per square foot is a listing's asking price divided by its stated size, so it is an asking figure and nothing more. Two homes state no size and are left out of every size figure. A median needs three homes or it is left out.

Each row of the size and city tables below opens the homes behind it, so a count can be checked against the homes it counts. The city table lists the twelve cities with the most starter homes.

This page leaves a lot out on purpose. It does not read remarks or condition, and it says nothing about who a home is for or where anyone should look. What it can do is count the homes, size them by stated square feet and show where each one is.
