Housing Market History

Historical U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data provides a consistent city-level median home value series for Howell. The figures below are median home values from ACS 5-year estimates and are descriptive of the local housing stock rather than a measure of individual property sale prices.

Across these comparable ACS estimates, the median home value increased from $181,600 in 2020 to $265,600 in 2024, an increase of approximately 46.3%. The series is historical and does not predict future property values.

For a separate current market measure, Zillow reported a typical Howell home value of $385,253 as of August 31, 2026, with a 2.4% year-over-year change. Zillow also reported a July 2026 median sale price of $393,333 and a median of eight days to pending. These Zillow metrics use a different methodology from the ACS median-home-value series and should not be combined with it.
