Median rent

At the typical value of $600,600, a buyer putting 20% down ($120,120) and financing the rest at 6.5% over 30 years would pay about $3,037 a month in principal and interest — 60% of the median household income here. That is well above the common 28% guideline, so buying here typically takes an above-median income, a larger down payment or existing equity. The median rent is $1,457/month, so owning costs roughly 108% more per month than renting, before taxes, insurance and upkeep — the trade-off is building equity.

Take-aways

What this means for buyers, sellers and investors in East End

At 9.9× local income, this is a premium market; expect competition for the few homes at the lower end of the range.

Sellers

Typical values here are 77% above the U.S. median; get a home-specific estimate before you list — condition and size move the number more than the area average.

Investors

A gross rental yield of 2.9% is low — this is an appreciation play rather than a cash-flow market.

Methodology

About this data

Data last updated: September 2026.

Current values and trends use the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — the typical value of mid-tier homes, smoothed and seasonally adjusted — through Aug 2026. It is refreshed monthly.

Median values, incomes, rents, housing stock and commutes come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates at ZIP Code Tabulation Area level. City and state figures are population-weighted averages of their ZIPs.

The Value Score (0–10) blends gross rental yield and price-to-income affordability. It is a value snapshot, not a forecast.

Mortgage figures assume 20% down and a 6.5% fixed 30-year loan, principal and interest only.

These are area-level statistics, not an appraisal of any individual property, and not financial advice.
