Housing market in Medford right now
Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and Household incomes average around $70,497 in Medford. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $387,000, which seems about average. Rent is about $1,321/month for a decent place. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Close to nature
- Active local events
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited dining options
- Far from major airports
