What Zillow shows
Zillow puts Redwood City's typical home value at $1,872,902 as of Sept. 30, 2026, up 6.7% from a year earlier, with homes going pending in about 13 days.
What it means for buyers and sellers
Both Redfin and Zillow show solid gains, and homes are selling nearly twice as fast as a year ago. Price per square foot jumped 25.3%, a much bigger rise than the median's, which can mean more high-end homes sold or that buyers are paying more for less space. Expect competition and offers over asking on well-priced homes.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
