Research the market, then find your home
The best home purchases start with research. Behind every shift in median sale prices, inventory levels, and days on market are fundamental economic forces: supply and demand, borrowing costs, demographic migration, and local job growth. Understanding these dynamics before you start browsing listings puts you in a stronger position—whether you're making an offer, negotiating price, or deciding to wait.
Markets vary dramatically by region. A home appreciating 5% annually in a hot sunbelt city like Austin represents fundamentally different dynamics than 2% growth in a stable coastal market. That's why we pair deep market data with active home listings for every city—so you can see the trends and the actual homes available in the same place, side by side.
Data-driven home shopping removes emotion from real estate transactions. Instead of guessing whether it's a buyer's or seller's market, you can see days on market trending down and inventory climbing, then browse the listings that match your budget. Compare your target market against neighboring cities to find where your money goes furthest. For investors, agents, and first-time homebuyers alike, research and listings together make for smarter decisions.
The housing market operates on lagged information. Mortgage rates change daily, but their impact on buyer behavior takes weeks to appear in sales data. That's why we update our market data weekly and refresh home listings daily—so you're always seeing the freshest snapshot of what's available and what the market is doing.
Market data meets home listings
Most real estate sites show you listings or data—not both. We combine authoritative market data with active home listings so you can research a market and browse what's actually for sale in one place. Redfin transaction data updates weekly with real sales. Zillow home values cover 30,000+ cities. Census demographics reveal income, education, and population trends. And our listing feeds show homes currently on the market in hundreds of cities nationwide.
Every city page includes the data you need to evaluate a market—median prices, price trends, inventory levels, days on market, school ratings—alongside real homes you can browse, save, and act on. See a city where prices are climbing and inventory is tight? You can immediately browse available homes and understand whether you're looking at a competitive market or one with room to negotiate.
Coverage spans all 50 states and 30,000+ cities. Whether you're house hunting in Denver, investing in Tampa, or relocating to Raleigh, you'll find current market data and active listings in one place. No login walls, no paywalls—just the information you need to find the right home at the right price.

Common home-buying questions
What is the median home price in the United States?
The U.S. median home sale price is approximately $420,000 as of 2025, based on Redfin transaction data. Prices vary widely by state — from under $200,000 in Mississippi to over $800,000 in California and Hawaii. Use our markets dashboard to see current median prices for any city or state.
Is it a buyer's market or seller's market right now?
Market conditions vary by location. A buyer's market exists when inventory is high and homes sit for 60+ days. A seller's market means low inventory, multiple offers, and homes selling above list price in under 30 days. Search any city on Properties Incorporated to see the current buyer/seller market condition score backed by real transaction data.
How do I research a housing market before buying?
To research a housing market: (1) Check the median sale price and year-over-year price change. (2) Look at days on market — lower means more competition. (3) Review active inventory (months of supply). (4) Compare price-to-rent ratios to gauge whether buying or renting is more economical. (5) Check local job and population growth as leading indicators. Properties Incorporated provides all of this data free for 30,000+ U.S. cities.
How much house can I afford?
Most lenders use the 28/36 rule: your housing costs should not exceed 28% of gross monthly income, and total debt payments should not exceed 36%. For example, a household earning $100,000/year has a gross monthly income of $8,333. The 28% housing limit is $2,333/month, which supports a mortgage of roughly $390,000–$430,000 at current rates with 20% down. Use our free home affordability calculator for a personalized estimate.
What is the difference between a buyer's market and a seller's market?
A buyer's market occurs when there are more homes for sale than buyers, giving purchasers more negotiating power, lower prices, and time to make decisions. A seller's market occurs when demand exceeds supply — homes sell quickly, often above list price, with multiple competing offers. Months of supply below 4 typically indicates a seller's market; above 6 indicates a buyer's market.
