The median home price in the US currently stands at $429,226.

“The claim that the median US home price is $429,226 is not supported by recent data. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported the median existing-home price for February 2026 was $398,000. Data from Homes.com, a CoStar Group marketplace, showed a national median home price of $375,885 for February 2026. Zillow reported a median sale price of $356,000 for January 2026. The NAR's report for the fourth quarter of 2025 listed the national median single-family existing-home price at $414,900, which is the closest figure but still below the claim and not for the current period. Context: Different real estate data providers use varying methodologies, which can result in different median price figures. The claim is significantly higher than the figures reported by major sources like the National Association of Realtors, Zillow, and CoStar for early 2026.”
