The median home price in the United States is $262,604 right now, according to Zillow.
It's a robust figure: Houses are selling at an almost unbelievable rate amid the coronavirus pandemic as more Americans take advantage of low mortgage rates and flee city centers for more spacious work-from-home locales.
