For July 2026 we recorded a $684K median sale price, a 101.7% sale-to-list ratio and a +12.5% month-over-month move with 87 homes for sale.

Both sources have published ZIP-level series for years, which is what lets us show month-over-month and year-over-year change here in 2026. LOKAL is independent and not affiliated with Zillow; always verify against your MLS before you publish.
