Housing markets by state and city

This is the directory for every U.S. housing market we publish: 51 state hubs, 22,712 cities, and 30,888 ZIP codes. The table below gives each state's typical home value and its 12-month change from Zillow, plus median sale price, active listings, and days on market from Redfin through May 2026. Every state name links to its own hub and the cities underneath it.

National figures set the backdrop; the useful decisions happen at the city level, which is why every number here links down rather than stopping at the headline.

Every state market

All 50 states and the District of Columbia, alphabetical. Typical value and its 12-month change come from Zillow; median sale price, listings, and days on market come from Redfin's last published month. A dash means that provider does not publish the series for that state.

The spread across state markets is roughly 4.6× — Hawaii at $833,340 against West Virginia at $179,496. That gap is wide, but it is smaller than the gap inside most states: a single state routinely contains both sub-$150,000 and million-dollar city medians, which is the reason this site publishes at city and ZIP level rather than stopping here. Median sale prices are available for 51 of the 51 state markets in the latest Redfin period.

City rankings

Every ranking below is drawn from the 375 U.S. cities that recorded at least 100 home sales in the latest Redfin snapshot. The 100-sale floor is deliberate: in a market with twenty closings, three unusual sales can move the median more than a year of real price change.

How to read these

A large one-year move in either direction usually starts as a mix story, not a value story: a block of new construction closing, a run of luxury sales, or the top of the market pulling back. Before treating a number here as a trend, open the city page and check months of supply, days on market, and the sale-to-list ratio together.

Price level and price direction also answer different questions. A cheap market that is flat and a cheap market that is falling look identical in the left-hand table and behave nothing alike.

Common questions

Which state has the most expensive housing market?

By typical home value, Hawaii is the highest of the 51 state markets at $833,340, and West Virginia is the lowest at $179,496 (Zillow home value index, August 2026). State figures are averages across very different local markets — the spread inside a single state is often larger than the spread between states.

How many housing markets does Properties Incorporated cover?

22,712 cities and 30,888 ZIP codes across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, plus a state hub for each. City pages carry price and value series, inventory, days on market, demographics, schools, and nearby-market comparisons; ZIP pages carry the market series for that ZIP code.

Why do the state table's two price columns disagree?

They measure different things. The typical home value column is Zillow's index of the whole housing stock, refreshed monthly (currently August 2026). The median sale price column is the midpoint of homes that actually closed, from Redfin, through May 2026. A state where large or new homes dominate recent closings will show a median sale price above its typical value, and vice versa.

Is national inventory rising or falling?

Active listings summed across the state markets that report in both periods totaled 1,130,302 in May 2026, -6.6% against the same month a year earlier. Inventory is strongly seasonal — it builds into spring and drains through winter — so the year-over-year comparison is the meaningful one, and the state table shows which markets are driving it.

How do I compare two specific markets?

Use the comparison tool: pick any two cities and it lines up typical value, median sale price, year-over-year change, days on market, months of supply, income, and demographics side by side, with the source and period on each figure. Popular relocation pairs are pre-built, and any valid pair of covered cities works.

How current is the market data on this page?

Each figure carries its own stamp. Zillow home values refresh monthly and are current through August 2026; the Freddie Mac 30-year rate refreshes weekly through FRED and is current to the week of September 24, 2026; the Census median sale price is quarterly and is current through April 2026. Redfin's public market trackers stopped publishing in June 2026, so Redfin-sourced columns are labeled "through May 2026" and will not move until Redfin resumes.
