Johnson City, TN home values, income, and owner costs

The published evidence provides the starting point: In Johnson City, TN, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $268,200, median household income of $57,254, and median selected monthly owner costs of $1,426 for owners with a mortgage. In practical terms, together, those three reference points may still 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 $1,426 measure combines recurring ownership expenses in place of real estate taxes alone. For the decision at hand, a useful affordability review starts with $268,200, $57,254, and $1,426, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.

Johnson City, TN's $268,200 median home-value estimate is below the statewide $286,700 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 6.5%. In practical terms, that 6.5% gap is useful for showing that a statewide midpoint may be a poor substitute for a local search range in Johnson City, TN.
