Why Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com Show Different Seneca Prices

In late September 2026, Zillow displayed a $308,416 typical Seneca home value, Redfin displayed a $256,830 median sale price for the three months ending August, and Realtor.com displayed a $458,995 median listing price. Those are not three versions of the same number.

Zillow's headline is a modeled index

Zillow identifies its headline as the Zillow Home Value Index, a modeled measure of typical home values. The same page separately reported a $337,167 median sale price for July, 261 homes for sale in August and 47 median days to pending.

Redfin emphasizes completed sales

Redfin's trend panel reported a $256,830 median sale price, 43 August sales and 59 median days on market, based on Redfin calculations of MLS and/or public-record data. Its three-month headline and monthly chart should remain attached to Redfin's stated window.

Realtor.com includes current asking-market context

Realtor.com reported a $458,995 median listing price, $357,500 median sold price, 473 active listings and 78 median days on market in its September overview, with historical charts through August.

How to reconcile the pages

Label every figure by provider, geography, date, property population and metric type. Never average modeled values, asking prices and completed-sale medians together. For a property decision, portal context should lead to source-verified comparable sales rather than replace them.
