The local figures answer the first question: North Dakota's 2024 ACS housing baseline reports a median owner-occupied home value of $249,900, median household income of $76,657, and median selected monthly owner costs of $1,762 for owners with a mortgage. For borrower planning, those three reference points may still help a borrower identify which statewide value, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need local replacement first. They remain separate medians, not the price, income, and monthly budget of one typical household, and the $1,762 measure is not a real-estate-tax figure or a current mortgage quote. A real decision still needs local property evidence, borrower documentation, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, and current loan information.

For the next comparison in North Dakota, read beside the 62.9% owner share and 37.1% renter share, the vacancy figure helps describe how the broad stock was classified without predicting near-term supply. For borrower planning, the borrower should use current listings, property condition, days on market, concessions, and local professional context to answer transaction questions that 12.3% and 377,281 were not designed to resolve.
