Price comparison

Planes listed for less than a typical house

Active US aircraft listings whose asking price is below the official median value of an owner-occupied home in the listing’s state.

Important: This compares an aircraft asking price with a state-wide estimated home value—not transaction prices, ownership costs or like-for-like assets. Listing location may be a dealer or advertised location, not the aircraft’s operating base.

Methodology

How the list was made

  • Kept active Sprinkle dealer listings in the US, priced in USD at $10,000 or more.
  • Resolved listing coordinates to a state with the official Census geocoder and required the stated city to agree with that state.
  • Excluded titles marked sold, sale pending, under contract or deposit taken.
  • Compared asking price with the 2024 ACS B25077 state median home value.

Editorial use

What still needs checking

Open the source listing and confirm it remains available, the price is for the whole aircraft, and no project/share/lease terms change the meaning. Quote the ACS estimate year and state geography.
