What homes are worth (what owners figured, 2021)

Owners figured a median of $380,000 back in 2021 — for owner-occupied homes of all types (the average was $400,400). Detached homes are now selling for a rolling median of $528,225 (12 months to May 2026) — well above that, though detached homes sit at the pricier end of the market.

That's owners' self-reported value from the 2021 census — five years old and self-reported, so a rough, stale snapshot, not a current price. For what's actually trading now, see the market below.
