Real estate FOMO. It’s definitely a thing. But before you go investing all your hard-earned dollars in the spiffiest home on the block, take a beat: Not all four-bedrooms are created equal. In other words, you may not want to jump to live in the most expensive housing market if you can avoid it. (Up and coming with a tiny commute is better long-term, right?) A new report from 24/7 Wall Street has done the research for you, so you can pinpoint — and perhaps avoid — the priciest area in every state.
