Source: Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), all homes, middle tier, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, city level, May 31, 2026. One-year change is measured May 2025 to May 2026 on the same series. Sparklines trace each city's 13 monthly readings, scaled per city; value bars scale from zero to Palo Alto's $3,675,706. ZHVI describes the broad housing stock and can differ from sale-price medians, which only reflect homes that recently sold.
