There's No Place Like A Home Built After 1994

If you want to hang out in a nice house, try befriending someone in the 45-54 age cohort. They own the priciest homes, according to a new Census Bureau report that analyzes data from 2000. The median value of single-family houses is $131,100 among owner-occupiers age 45-54. The 35-44s (median house value: $128,800) are close behind, followed by the 55-64s ($124,000). The figure falls to $113,800 among the 25-34s, to $108,300 among those 65-74 and to $95,500 among those 75 and older.
