Wichita, KS Ranks Among the Top 10 Most Affordable Housing Markets
Wichita is the 10th-most affordable housing market in the United States according to a national study.
Coldwell Banker's 2009 Home Price Comparison Index says a 2,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home can be purchased in Wichita for an average of $144,625.
Couple the study with an aggressive buyer's market in Wichita, and local homes may be a bigger value than Coldwell Banker thinks.

Making Home Affordable Program
On February 18, 2009, President Obama announced his Making Home Affordable Program (MHA), designed to help up to 7-9 million families avoid foreclosure by restructuring or refinancing their mortgages. In doing so, the plan not only helps responsible homeowners behind on their payments or at risk of defaulting, but prevents neighborhoods and communities from being pulled over the edge too, as defaults and foreclosures contribute to falling home values, failing local businesses, and lost jobs.
