Current home values in Wyoming
Home values have been rising throughout Wyoming and are up 11.8% from a year ago.
Statewide, the median value for a single-family home — meaning half are worth more, half are worth less — is currently $698,418, Realtor says.
Real estate agents say would-be homebuyers in some parts of the country are starting to overcome the obstacles caused by COVID-19 and are going virtual house hunting to take advantage of today's bargain mortgage rates and the low monthly house payments they provide.
Here's how that works in Wyoming: Let's say you want to buy a mid-priced home using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at the current average interest, which is a low 3.33%, according to mortgage company Freddie Mac.
A 30-year mortgage for a $698,418 home at 3.33% would give a typical Wyoming homebuyer a monthly payment of $2,456, assuming a 20% down payment.
