Zillow's average home value ran $1,039,520, DOWN 0.2% year-over-year, while Redfin's median sale price ran $997,457, UP 19.1% year-over-year over the same window -- a real, disclosed divergence not just in level but in the reported DIRECTION of the market, likely reflecting differing methodologies and shifting inventory mix rather than one settled read on the market.
A genuinely diverse housing stock
Separately cited figures for the same period ranged even more widely -- Movoto at $795,500, Homes.com at $898,000, and a separate Zillow home-value-index citation at $1,085,063 -- a real, disclosed reflection of Walnut Creek's genuinely diverse mix of neighborhoods, from more-affordable condos near downtown to luxury hillside estates near Mount Diablo.
A fast-moving market
