The Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) shows nominal home prices rose slightly in February 2026, reaching $360,591—up 0.20% monthly and 0.23% annually. Inflation-adjusted values remain 12.68% below their July 2022 peak, nearing a five-year low despite nominal gains. Current real home values still trail the 2006 housing bubble peak after accounting for inflation, signaling persistent market softening. ZHVI’s seasonally adjusted data highlights stagnation, with minimal growth despite tight inventory and high mortgage rates. The analysis underscores a disconnect between nominal price increases and eroding real value, reflecting broader economic pressures on housing affordability.
