Learn moreA real, unusually wide spread -- disclosed rather than reconciled
Zillow's average home value ran $477,164 as of July 31, 2026 (up 1.5% YoY), while a separately cited Zillow 'typical home value' figure ran $441,576 but with a dramatically larger 30.6% year-over-year increase -- both figures come from Zillow-attributed citations yet diverge sharply, most plausibly reflecting different underlying metrics rather than a single consistent figure. Redfin's median sale price ran lower still, at $435,000 (down 3.5% YoY).
A moderately competitive, active market
The market scored 61 out of 100 on a competitiveness index ('somewhat competitive'), with days on market running 49 in 2026, down from 53 the prior year -- a genuine sign of sustained demand. Active listings showed a $455,796 median sale price.
