For orientation, the citywide median sale prices below cover the three months ending August 2026. They are not prices for a particular neighborhood, base radius or currently available home. A specific search may include homes below or above its city median.
How to narrow a PCS home search
- Confirm the actual duty address and gate. Some commands are at annexes away from the main base.
- Set a realistic monthly budget. Include loan payment, taxes, insurance, HOA dues and maintenance; ask your lender about VA loan eligibility and costs.
- Choose property priorities. Detached home, townhouse, condo, one-story layout, parking, lot size or room count will change the search.
- Check each property. Review flood maps, insurance quotes, aircraft-noise information, HOA documents, condition and the route at your report time.
