How we track the California market

We built LOKAL to pull each California metro's numbers straight from the Redfin Data Center, so an agent and a client read from the same source. Across the 8 California metros we track, median sale prices run from $405K to $1.77M for May 2026. In Fresno, the $405K median compares with roughly $405K a year earlier, in 2025. Redfin has published this market data monthly since 2020, which is what lets us show month-over-month and year-over-year change here in 2026. We refresh every metro monthly. For complementary demographics on each California area — population, median household income, owner-occupancy — see the U.S. Census Bureau. LOKAL is independent and not affiliated with Redfin; always verify against your MLS before you publish.
