Zillow&#8217;s typical home value was $946,268 on July 31, 2026. Zillow also reported a June median sale price of $1,039,083, while Redfin&#8217;s three-month median ending in June was $1,069,418.<\/p>\n    <p>Those figures are not competing answers to the same calculation. One estimates the value of a typical home, another summarizes closed sales, and each provider uses its own coverage and timing. Start with the citywide benchmark, then narrow the search by property type, neighborhood, recent comparable sales, and total monthly cost.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <figure class=\"loaning-main-image\">\n    <img\n      src=\"https:\/\/blog.loaning.ai\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/la_average_home_price.png\"\n      alt=\"Los Angeles Average Home Price in 2026 infographic\"\n      loading=\"eager\"\n      decoding=\"async\"\n    >\n  <\/figure>\n\n\n  <div class=\"loaning-key-takeaways\" aria-label=\"Key takeaways\">\n    <p class=\"loaning-key-takeaways__title\">\ud83d\udcdd <strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Direct answer:<\/strong> Zillow&#8217;s July 2026 typical Los Angeles home value is $946,268, down 0.5% year over year.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Closed-sale range:<\/strong> June sale medians were about $1.04 million to $1.07 million, depending on the provider and reporting window.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Buyer budget:<\/strong> Property type can shift the benchmark by hundreds of thousands of dollars before tax, insurance, HOA dues, and repairs are added.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <nav class=\"loaning-toc\" aria-label=\"Table of contents\">\n    <p class=\"loaning-toc__title\">In this guide<\/p>\n    <div class=\"loaning-toc__links\">\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-price\">2026 price<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-metrics\">metric guide<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-types\">property types<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-payment\">monthly payment<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-market\">market leverage<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-costs\">tax and insurance<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#laavgen-faq\">FAQ<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/nav>\n\n  <br><br>\n  <h2 id=\"laavgen-price\">\ud83d\udcca Los Angeles Average Home Price in 2026: $946,268<\/h2>\n\n  <h3>The direct answer is a typical value, not a simple average<\/h3>\n  <p>Zillow&#8217;s $946,268 figure is its Home Value Index for Los Angeles. The index estimates the value of a typical home across the housing stock, including homes that did not sell that month. It is more useful for tracking the broad market than for setting an offer on one property.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Closed homes were selling above the value benchmark<\/h3>\n  <p>Zillow&#8217;s June 30 median sale price was $1,039,083. Redfin reported a $1,069,418 median for the three months ending June 2026. Both describe closed transactions, but their datasets and reporting windows differ.

That points to a mostly flat market rather than a sharp citywide correction. Because the index controls for changes in the mix of homes, it is useful for reading direction even when a particular month has more luxury or entry-level sales.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Sale median describes only the homes that closed<\/h3>\n  <p>A sale median can change when the mix of closings changes. If more large single-family homes close in one period, the median may rise even if the value of every comparable home stays flat. This is why a buyer should compare the same property type over the same period before drawing a conclusion about appreciation.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>List median shows seller expectations<\/h3>\n  <p>The July list median of $1,098,000 was about $59,000 above Zillow&#8217;s June sale median. That difference is not an automatic discount. New listings and closed sales are different groups of homes, and final results depend on condition, pricing strategy, and competition.<\/p>\n\n\n  <aside class=\"loaning-important-note\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Los Angeles housing data scope warning\">\n    <p class=\"loaning-important-note__title\"><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f Important: Do not combine city, county, and metro figures<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>Los Angeles city is one jurisdiction inside Los Angeles County.
