It is no secret that the cost of homes everywhere in America is at an all-time high, but some spots are always going to be a bit more expensive than others. Iowa overall is a great place when it comes to pricing, you can clearly see that when looking at the most expensive city on the list which has a typical home value of $546,841 which is 189% higher than the state average of $189,531.
