Start with the dated local finding: In Alhambra, CA, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $857,800, median household income of $88,024, and median selected monthly owner costs of $3,050 for owners with a mortgage. Together, those three reference points can help a borrower identify which search-price, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need current verification first. They remain separate medians, not the finances of one representative household, and the $3,050 measure combines recurring ownership expenses rather than real estate taxes alone. For borrower planning, a useful affordability review starts with $857,800, $88,024, and $3,050, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.
Alhambra, CA's $857,800 median home-value estimate is above the statewide $734,700 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 16.8%. That 16.8% gap is useful for showing that a statewide midpoint may be a poor substitute for a local search range in Alhambra, CA.
