Start with the dated local finding: In Lakewood, CO, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $574,400, median household income of $89,792, and median selected monthly owner costs of $2,330 for owners with a mortgage. 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 $2,330 measure combines recurring ownership expenses instead of real estate taxes alone. For borrower planning, a useful affordability review starts with $574,400, $89,792, and $2,330, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.
Lakewood, CO's $574,400 median home-value estimate is above the statewide $539,400 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 6.5%.
