"Realtor.com's analysis gave Wyoming a total score of 41.2, placing it near the midpoint of all states. The state's median listing price was $465,295 in 2024, supported by a median household income of $73,733.

Wyoming maintains relative housing accessibility supported by a median listing price of $465,295 and a median household income of $73,733. The Realtors Affordability Score of 0.56 indicates many homes are just out of reach for middle-income earners. New homebuilding is insufficient, with Wyoming accounting for 0.1% of U.S. housing permits while representing 0.2% of the national population, yielding a permit-to-population ratio of 0.67. The new construction premium of 19.6% shows new builds command higher prices. National pressure on builders to increase construction adds urgency to expanding supply to meet growing local demand.
