Ever wonder what that mythical median-priced house looks like?

The median price of all houses sold in the Chattanooga Area in May was $124,900, meaning as many houses were sold above that price as below.

According to statistics from the Chattanooga Association of Realtors, there are 17 houses on the market at that price.

What can you get for that kind of money?

Earlier this week, a Times Free Press reporter, accompanied by Realtor Steven Sharpe of Keller Williams Realty, visited four of those houses.

All four have three bedrooms and at least two baths, and the four are fairly close in size (1,633-2,083 square feet). However, they vary widely in age, built in a range of years from 1925 to 2009. Two are in Chattanooga, one is in East Ridge and one is in an unincorporated part of Hamilton County.

Descriptions of each house are based on the tour and comparisons available from Multiple Listing Service information. Also included are comments by Sharpe, who is not the listing agent for any of the properties.
