Bakersfield is one of the most affordable major markets in California
The same $410,000 budget that buys a home in Bakersfield would only cover a condo or townhome in most Southern California markets. For first-time buyers priced out of LA or the Bay Area, Kern County offers real ownership at a fraction of the cost.
California median sourced from Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — smoothed, seasonally adjusted. ZHVI reflects estimated median market value including off-market homes and may differ from median closed sale price.
