- Zillow Home Value Index · 2026-09
How we got this. Typical home value is Zillow's Home Value Index, a metro figure for cities and a state figure for states, refreshed monthly. Cities and states each rank on their own list, cheapest to priciest. The US Virgin Islands has no state series, so it's left off. It refreshes monthly, when Zillow publishes.
Rankings by The Honest Local from public data, one page per list, refreshed on each source’s own cycle. Places with no reading are left out rather than estimated. Every value on this page carries its source in the page’s structured data.
