What median home price means
The median home value is the typical home price in a market: the midpoint of Zillow's home value index (ZHVI), which tracks a typical home across all types and price tiers. It is updated monthly and smoothed to cut noise, so it is a steadier read of what homes actually cost here than a raw median sale price, which swings with whatever happened to sell that month.
