Median US house price priced in Bitcoin: 2015 to 2025
Priced in fiat
Priced in sats
Median US house price (per property) cost $294,150 in 2015 and $415,400 in 2025, a change of +41% in US dollars across 10 years. The figures are annual averages from Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), Median Sales Price of Houses Sold (series MSPUS). The fiat peak in this series came in 2022 at $432,950.
Priced in sats, the same item went from 107,747,252,747 sats to 407,055,365 sats, a change of −99.6%. The conversion uses the yearly average BTC price for each matching year, never a rate from a different era. The least flattering single step for the sats series was 2021 to 2022, when this item moved +94% in sats terms. Short windows can and do run against the holder; the direction across the full series is what the chart shows.
The median American home peaked in dollars in 2022 and never gave much back. In sats it has fallen by more than 99 percent across the decade, the same silent collapse as every other housing market on this page.
Housing is where the melting unit hurts the most, because the sums are the largest and the borrowing longest. The main page shows how the whole cost of living behaves when the measuring stick is fixed.
