A real, disclosed value-vs-list spread

Zillow's own average home value ran $331,613 (up 3.0% YoY, updated July 2026), while the median list price ran a meaningfully higher $415,300 as of August 2026.

Recent sales tracked closer to typical value

A separate reading of 51 homes sold in a recent 30-day window gave a $332,000 median sold price -- closely tracking Zillow's average value rather than the higher list price, suggesting list prices may not always reflect what buyers actually pay.
