Figures for a city or a state are averages across its scored ZIP codes, weighted by population, so each ZIP counts in proportion to its residents. Where only some ZIPs report a figure, the sentence names how many.

How to read these figures

Each figure names its own month: Zillow's home values and Realtor.com's listings data publish on their own schedules, so the two can sit a month apart. A figure describes that month, not the day this page was updated.

Each dot is a city with three or more scored ZIPs, placed by its population-weighted balance (right leans toward sellers) and its trailing-year price change (up is rising, Zillow ZHVI). Axes fit this state’s own spread and always include zero. Pressure tends to turn before prices do, which is what Cooling and Firming name.
