As of August 22, 2026. All market figures are determined by current market conditions and professional evaluation. They are provided for informational purposes only and are not an offer to buy or a promise of value. Methodology: Zillow ZHVI is a modeled typical home value and Zillow ZORI is a modeled observed-rent index; Redfin figures are rolling, all-home-type sale metrics; Realtor.com Residential Listings describe the live listing layer; U.S. Census Bureau figures are 2024 ACS 5-year housing estimates; Freddie Mac PMMS is a national mortgage-rate survey. These measures use different geographies, samples and methods and are not interchangeable. HouseCanary figures are omitted because no licensed public series was available for this research refresh.
