As home prices in the region hit a record over the last few months, so too did the price of a detached house. 

After eclipsing $845,000 for the first time in May, the median price for a detached house in the area remained near that record high in June, proving that despite elevated interest rates, the demand for this property type remains high. 

The value of a detached home increased about 9% since last spring, but the more notable increase has been since early 2020 when the pandemic began. Since February 2020, the median price is up $300,000 or nearly 56%.
