Learn moreA real, current cooling -- disclosed alongside a conflicting citation
Zillow's typical home value fell to $560,399, down 12.9% year-over-year -- a genuine, real cooling. Redfin's median sale price, by contrast, ran a closely aligned $561,000 but UP 2.1% year-over-year over its own reviewed window. Both are disclosed here rather than reconciled to one direction.
A meaningfully less competitive market than 2021-2022
Redfin scored Star's market just 22 out of 100 for competitiveness -- 'not very competitive.' Homes averaged just 1 offer and days-on-market figures ranged 40-96 days across sources, a genuinely calmer pace than the frenzied 2021-2022 conditions.
Movoto's higher listing-price citation
Movoto's August 2026 listing median ran $639,000 -- an asking-price rather than closed-sale figure, and notably higher than the Zillow/Redfin figures above, reflecting real differences between what sellers ask and what buyers ultimately pay.
