CourtiConnect cited a median single-family home price of $430,000 as of September 20, 2026. The $67,000 difference indicates that a subset of higher-priced transactions elevates the mean well above the typical sale. This structural gap matters because it separates the experience of most buyers from the headline average. A household targeting the median faces a different affordability calculation than one interpreting the average as representative. The skew suggests limited ultra-luxury inventory but enough high-value sales to distort central tendency measures.
