Ever dream of owning a home without needing a miracle or a six-figure salary?

There's one Massachusetts spot where home prices are surprisingly manageable, and buying a house feels possible, not overwhelming. This might not be a luxury neighborhood or hidden gem, but your budget definitely stretches a little further here!

You might not find premium amenities or picture-perfect curb appeal, but you will get a place to call your own and a solid starting point with real potential. It could be a cozy fixer-upper full of character, or a simple, move-in-ready home that just needs your personal touch. Either way, it’s a chance to build equity, put down roots, and finally step into homeownership without breaking the bank. Sometimes, it’s not about finding the perfect place. It’s about finding the place you can actually afford in a world where home prices can feel out of reach.

According to a list compiled by Go Banking Rates, the most affordable place to purchase property in Massachusetts is North Adams. The Zillow Home Value Interest for this location is $243,572, and the population is 12,660!

Here's what Go Banking Rates had to say about compiling the data to discover the cheapest place to own a home in each state:

"To find the cheapest place to buy a home in every state, GOBankingRates analyzed every state to find the cities with the cheapest median home values, as sourced from Zillow Home Value Index. For each city, the total population was sourced from the U.S. Census American Consumer Survey as supplemental data."
