A genuinely affordable market

Kokomo's average home value ran $185,001 as of May 31, 2026 (Zillow), up a real 5.4% year-over-year -- well below the national median home price.

A low property-tax add-on to ownership cost

Kokomo's 0.86% median effective property tax rate (Ownwell) adds a comparatively modest cost on top of the purchase price, consistent with Indiana's statutory Circuit Breaker cap limiting homestead property tax to 1% of gross assessed value.

Consistent with a manufacturing-town cost profile

Kokomo's housing costs run consistent with the city's broader working-class economic profile -- a below-national median household income ($55,360) alongside genuinely affordable home values.
