According to a new report by LendingTree, Philadelphia ranked No. 27 among the nation’s 50 largest metros based on its share of million-dollar homes, writes Michael Kolomatsky for The New York Times

While many things affect the price of a home (square footage and construction type, for example) location is still the main determinant of price. 

But even when location is considered, the report found that million-dollar homes are relatively uncommon throughout the country. Only 4.27 percent of the owner-occupied homes in the 50 largest metros are valued at $1 million or more. 

In the Philadelphia metropolitan area, out of the overall 1,534,074 owner-occupied housing units, 25,599 (1.67 percent) have at least six-figure values. 

For comparison’s sake, the median value of owner-occupied housing units in Greater Philadelphia is $250,700. 

The metro with the highest share of million-dollar homes in the country is San Jose, California, at 47 percent, followed by San Francisco at 36 percent, and Los Angeles with 17 percent.
