Every price on this page is an asking price on an active listing, taken from the MLS listings as of our latest check. 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.

The cards under the chart show the newest starter homes first. The search above them looks through every active listing, so a home that is not among the cards can still be found by city, price or size.
