Benchmark Prices by Property Type
The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark tracks the price of a typical home, so it is less distorted by a few very expensive or very cheap sales than an average price.
| Property type | Benchmark price | 1-year change | 1-month change | Sales (YoY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All residential (composite) | $1,068,600 | −5.2% | −0.7% | 2,024 (−10.2%) |

| Apartment | $673,400 | −5.9% | −1.3% | 892 (−16.7%) |
Sales were lower than a year ago for every property type. Townhouse sales were close to last year's level, down 1.9%, while apartments saw the largest decline, down almost 17%.

What the Numbers Mean
- For buyers: prices are below last year and active listings are 24% above the 10-year average, so there is still plenty of choice. Detached homes remain in buyer's-market territory, while townhouses and apartments are now in the balanced range, so well-priced homes in those segments may see more competition than they did in September.
- For sellers: with inventory well above average, pricing from recent comparable sales matters more than ever. Homes priced above the market tend to sit. Request a free home evaluation.
- For owners: benchmark prices describe a typical home. Your home's value depends on its location, size, condition and features, and on what similar homes nearby have sold for. Find out what a home sold for.
