As the intense demand for homes continues to outmatch supply nationwide, buying a home is becoming an increasingly expensive feat. 

The median value of a home in the U.S. is $281,370, an 11.6% increase over the last year. Meanwhile, homeowners with mortgages pay an average of $1,558 a month in housing costs, compared to $490 for those without mortgages.
