Lynn, MA home values, income, and owner costs

In Lynn, MA, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $510,100, median household income of $75,043, and median selected monthly owner costs of $2,711 for owners with a mortgage. For the decision at hand, 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 $2,711 measure combines recurring ownership expenses rather than real estate taxes alone. In practical terms, a useful affordability review starts with $510,100, $75,043, and $2,711, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.

Lynn, MA's $510,100 median home-value estimate is below the statewide $562,100 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 9.3%. For the decision at hand, that 9.3% gap is useful for showing that a statewide midpoint may be a poor substitute for a local search range in Lynn, MA. It does not mean every local property is 9.3% away from a comparable property elsewhere in the state, because the medians reflect different housing mixes and geographies. In practical terms, a borrower may use $510,100 and $562,100 to decide which assumptions need local replacement first, then compare actual properties and current financing disclosures on the same basis.
