What homes cost

Closed sales in the 12 months to October 27, 2026. Houses are the MLS property type “single family home”.

73% of the year’s 450 sales were houses. Among the houses, 23% of listings said single-story, 9% mentioned an ADU or in-law unit and 28% a pool; those count listing descriptions, so they undercount.

How we counted

Closed sales reported to the MLS and read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records removed (same MLS number and sale date). A sale is placed by the city in its MLS address, so a few homes in unincorporated pockets count under the nearby city. Medians follow the mix of homes, and blocks within a city can differ a lot. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
