Zillow's average home value ran $308,765, UP 7.0% year-over-year, while Redfin's median sale price ran a very close $310,581 as of June 2026 but DOWN 0.6% year-over-year -- a real, disclosed contradiction this record does not resolve, even though the two dollar figures themselves nearly match.
List prices and closed-sale prices diverge, too
August 2026 listings carried a median asking price of $375,000, while January 2026 closed sales carried a lower median of $329,000 -- a real, disclosed gap worth understanding when comparing asking prices to what homes actually sell for.
A genuinely declining population against a still-appreciating (by some measures) housing market
Ludington's population has genuinely declined -0.34% annually in recent years, a real, disclosed contrast against housing figures that, by at least one measure (Zillow), still show meaningful year-over-year appreciation -- plausibly reflecting real second-home and retirement-relocation demand distinct from year-round population counts.
Key takeaways
- Ludington's home-value figures carry a real, disclosed directional contradiction across Zillow and Redfin.
- List prices ($375,000, August 2026) ran meaningfully above recent closed-sale medians ($329,000, January 2026).
- A declining year-round population alongside continued housing appreciation plausibly reflects real second-home/retirement demand.
- Confirm current listings directly given the real, disclosed spread across sources.
