In Appleton, WI, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $231,400, median household income of $80,483, and median selected monthly owner costs of $1,491 for owners with a mortgage. For the decision at hand, together, those three reference points may 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 $1,491 measure combines recurring ownership expenses in place of real estate taxes alone. In practical terms, a useful affordability review starts with $231,400, $80,483, and $1,491, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.
Appleton, WI's $231,400 median home-value estimate is below the statewide $266,500 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 13.2%.
