Newport Beach takes the top spot among the 10 most expensive housing markets in America, with an average listing price of $1.8 million for a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property, according to a study conducted by New Jersey-based Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
The most affordable housing market in the U.S. is Detroit, Mich., with an average listing price of $68,000.
That equates to a $1.7 million difference between Newport Beach and Detroit, according to the Home Listing Report, which measured more than 18,000 four-bedroom, two-bathroom properties in nearly 300 markets across the U.S.
The average listing price among homes surveyed is $353,000.
Meanwhile, six California cities rank among the most expensive markets in the report. Palo Alto came in at No. 2, with a $1.5 million listing price. San Francisco, La Jolla, Pasadena and Santa Barbara also appear in the lineup.
The 10 most affordable markets were located in the Midwest, according to the report.
