How to read these numbers

Median sale price
Half the homes that closed sold for more than this, half for less. It moves with what kind of home sold that month, so a quiet month with two big sales can swing it. Redfin's figure for Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley is frozen at May 2026.
Typical home value (ZHVI)
Zillow's estimate of what a mid-market home in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley is worth right now, whether or not it sold. It is smoother than the median sale price and it still refreshes monthly, which is why this page leads with it.
Months of supply
How long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under 3 favors sellers, over 6 favors buyers, and 3 to 6 is the balanced band.
Days on market
Median time from listing to accepted offer. Short means you should have financing ready before you tour; long means there is room to negotiate on price and repairs.
Sale-to-list ratio
Sale price divided by the last asking price. Above 100% means bidding above asking is normal here; below 100% means the typical buyer got a discount.
Price per square foot
The size-adjusted price. Use it to compare a 1,400 sq ft house to a 2,600 sq ft house, not to value your own home — lot, condition and age move it a lot.
Listings with a price cut
Share of active listings that dropped their asking price in the month. A high share is the earliest visible sign that sellers are ahead of what buyers will pay.
Typical asking rent (ZORI)
Zillow's repeat-rent index for asking rents on new leases. Paired with the home value it gives the price-to-rent ratio in the rent-vs-buy section below.

How have Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley home prices moved?

Over the last three years the median sale price in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley, CA fell 55.5%, from $3.15M to $1.40M. For prices to fall meaningfully from here, supply would have to keep building past 5.0 months while the sale-to-list ratio slips below its current 93.7%. Watch those two together — they move before the median does.

What does it cost to buy a home in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley?

Priced off the median sale price of $1.40M at the current 6.66% 30-year fixed rate. These are principal and interest only — property taxes, homeowner's insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are on top, and they vary enough by property that we will not guess them for you.

What income do you need?

Lenders generally want housing costs under 28% of gross income. On the 20%-down payment of $7,197, that implies roughly $308,461 a year before you add taxes and insurance. The median household in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley earns $154,591, about $153,870 short of that threshold — the typical local household needs a larger down payment, a co-borrower, or a home below the median sale price to fit the 28% rule. That puts the price-to-income ratio at 9.1x — well above the 3x that was historically considered affordable, which is why down payment size drives who can buy here.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley?

What to do next in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

What buyers should watch

  • Months of supply, currently 5.0. It turns before price does — when it climbs past 6, sellers start taking offers they would have rejected a quarter earlier.
  • The gap between 5% and 20% down here is $1,350 a month in principal and interest alone, before mortgage insurance. That gap, not the price, is usually what decides your timeline.
  • Rate moves. At 6.66%, every full point of rate change moves the payment on a $1.40M home more than a 5% price change does.
  • Your credit tier before you shop, not after — it sets the rate you are quoted. Run your numbers first.

What sellers should know

  • The median Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley listing goes under contract in 17 days. If yours passes that mark, the market is telling you the price is wrong — not that you need more showings.
  • Homes here close at 93.7% of asking. Price to that ratio from day one rather than chasing the market down in cuts.
  • In the last published month Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley added 1 new listings against 1 sales — more clearing than arriving, which is the better window to list.
  • Comparable ZIP-level pricing inside Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley varies more than the citywide median suggests — check the ZIP pages below before you set a number.
