SPRINGFIELD HOUSING MARKET ONE OF THE
MOST AFFORDABLE IN THE U.S.

Home values in Springfield are among the strongest in the nation, according to a price comparison calculated by national real estate firm Coldwell Banker.

The study analyzed more than 300 U.S. metro areas for the value of a 2,200-square-foot home with four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The single-family dwelling was located in a neighborhood typical for mid-level executives.

The Springfield home was $34,000 less than a comparable home in St. Louis and Kansas City and $1.2 million less than in the most expensive market, La Jolla, CA.
