Current Market Trends

According to Zillow's latest data, the current median home value in the United States is $340,000. This represents a 3.5% increase from the previous year. The housing market is expected to continue growing, driven by low mortgage rates, a strong economy, and a shortage of available homes for sale.

Home Value Forecast
