City House Price Data

House prices are a key factor in housing affordability and in assessing the ability of renter households to transition into homeownership. For many cities, county level house price data represent too large an area to conduct useful analysis of housing costs. To assist local governments in assessing housing needs, we report median prices by dwelling type and number of bedrooms for cities with population of at least 10,000, as well as smaller cities for which there are adequate numbers of transactions for reporting purposes. Median prices for smaller cities should be interpreted with caution as they tend to be volatile due to the small numbers of transactions each quarter.

Starting in 2025, the city house prices reported by WCRER are based on data obtained from CoreLogic. This allows us to report data further back in time (to 2014 Q2) and to provide more complete coverage across cities. Data for single-family houses are now available on our city dashboard.
