Zillow — Zestimate®: $802,500 (range $762,000 – $843,000). Well above the $528,000 paid in July 2019 — this home has had years to appreciate.
The best-known consumer automated valuation model (AVM) in the U.S., built from public records, MLS data, and user-submitted facts on hundreds of millions of homes.
Published accuracy: median error about 1.77% for on-market homes and about 7% for off-market homes. The wider off-market error is the honest caveat — without a live listing, the model cannot see condition or upgrades.
MLS-driven AVMRedfin — Redfin Estimate: $784,190. Lowest of the three verified headlines, and up about $2K since October.
Redfin is both a brokerage and a portal, so its estimate draws directly on MLS data and hundreds of data points — Redfin cites 500+ — including listing details other portals may not receive as quickly.
Published accuracy: median error about 1.85% on-market and about 7.25% off-market — very close to Zillow, with a different data emphasis.
Aggregator · Not a standalone modelHomes.com — average of 4 AVMs: $801,212 (range $782,848 – $831,000; values based on Oct 2026). Its four components cluster within about $48K of each other — a tight spread for this price range.
Homes.com does not run its own valuation model — it aggregates four lender-grade AVMs and averages them: Collateral Analytics $831,000 · ICE Mortgage Technology $808,000 · First American $783,000 · Quantarium $782,848.
Collateral Analytics is now part of ICE via Black Knight; ICE Mortgage Technology powers a large share of U.S. mortgage origination; First American is a title-data giant whose records cover 99% of U.S. deeds, mortgages, and foreclosures; Quantarium is an AI-driven model trained on parcel and imagery data.
Our methodUnited Home Price Estimate: $795,967.
It is the equal-weight average of the headline estimates verified on this page:
($802,500 + $784,190 + $801,212) ÷ 3 = $795,967
No single algorithm sees a home the way an appraiser walking through it would. Averaging independent models — consumer, MLS-driven, and aggregated — smooths out any one model’s blind spots and outliers.
Heat score · 68 / 100 · Seller'sHow the 68 is built — each SDAR 10K Research input is scored 0–100 by band, then weighted:
Heat = 0.40 × Supply + 0.25 × Sales to List Price Ratio + 0.20 × DOM + 0.15 × Median YoY
For 92078: 0.40×80 + 0.25×60 + 0.20×60 + 0.15×60 = 68.
Scoring bands — Supply: ≤2 mo = 100, 2–4 = 80, 4–6 = 50, 6–8 = 20, >8 = 0 · Sales to List Price Ratio: ≥101% = 100, 99–101% = 80, 97–99% = 60, 95–97% = 30, <95% = 0 · DOM: ≤20 d = 100, 20–30 = 80, 30–45 = 60, 45–60 = 30, >60 = 0 · Median YoY: ≥+10% = 100, +5–10% = 80, 0–5% = 60, −5–0% = 30, <−5% = 0.
Why seller’s? Supply is only 2.6 months and sellers are closing at 98.2% of asking, while the median price is steady — up just 0.3% on the year and up 7.1% against last month. Homes are taking a little longer to sell than a year ago (34 days), which is what holds the score at 68 instead of the strong seller’s band.
Industry anchor (NAR): under 4 months of supply is a seller’s market, 4–6 balanced, over 6 a buyer’s market — which is why supply carries the largest weight.
