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 Hooverson Heights is frozen at May 2026.
- Typical home value (ZHVI)
- Zillow's estimate of what a mid-market home in Hooverson Heights 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 Hooverson Heights home prices moved?
Across the 36 months we hold for Hooverson Heights, WV, the median sale price rose 0.7%, from $131,000 in May 2021 to $131,900. For prices to fall meaningfully from here, supply would have to keep building past 2.0 months while the sale-to-list ratio slips below its current 101.5%. Watch those two together — they move before the median does.

What income do you need?
Lenders generally want housing costs under 28% of gross income. On the 20%-down payment of $704, that implies roughly $30,178 a year before you add taxes and insurance. The median household in Hooverson Heights earns $58,681, about $28,503 more than that threshold — the typical local household clears the payment on a typical local home with 20% down. That puts the price-to-income ratio at 2.2x — close to the historical 3x norm, which is unusual in 2026.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy in Hooverson Heights?
Zillow does not publish a rent index (ZORI) for Hooverson Heights, WV, so we cannot compute a price-to-rent ratio here without borrowing a nearby market's rents and calling them local — which we will not do. The rent vs. buy calculator works with a rent figure you supply.
Is inventory rising or falling in Hooverson Heights?
Active listings in Hooverson Heights, WV went from 12 in February 2025 to 2 in April 2026, a -83.3% change. Falling inventory tightens competition. When supply drops while demand holds, sale-to-list ratios rise before the median sale price does.
