Zillow's average home value ran $424,062, DOWN 4.5% year-over-year, while Redfin's median sale price ran a lower $419,772 as of June 2026 but UP 10.5% year-over-year -- a separately cited Redfin three-month figure (through May 2026) put the median at a more modest $399,000, up 2.4%. This record discloses this directional disagreement plainly rather than resolving it.
A real, current faster-moving market
Homes in Eureka sold in an average of 19 days in 2026, compared to 39 days a year earlier -- a real, disclosed signal of tightening market conditions worth factoring into timing expectations.
A genuine affordability advantage over coastal California
Regardless of which specific figure is used, Eureka's housing costs run meaningfully below the Bay Area and Southern California coastal markets documented elsewhere in this project -- a real, practical trade-off against Eureka's genuine remoteness and smaller job market.
