What this means if you are selling
- Updated houses are still selling quickly, often above asking. If yours is one of them, listing is likely your best price.
- Houses that need work face buyers stretched by prices near record highs and rates around 7%. Fewer of those buyers can pay for repairs on top of the purchase.
- That is the gap a cash buyer fills. See how to value your house and how a cash offer is figured.

Common questions
How often is this page updated?
When new monthly data is released by the sources above.
Why do different sources show different prices?
Redfin reports medians across its data; SmartMLS reports reflect MLS closings and often use averages. Both are useful; do not mix them in one comparison.
