Learn moreZillow's typical home value: the most stable anchor figure
Zillow's Home Value Index for Arlington Heights runs $401,290, up a real, modest 2.4% year-over-year -- this record's primary anchor figure, since Zillow's index methodology smooths month-to-month volatility better than a single-month closed-sale median.
A real, disclosed spread across other sources
Redfin's reported November 2025 median CLOSED sale price ran $420,000, up a volatile 29.1% year-over-year that specific month; Movoto's July 2026 median LISTING price (not a closed sale) reached $495,000. These measure genuinely different things and are disclosed as a spread rather than reconciled into one number.
