The Zillow Home Value Index is Zillow’s estimate of the value of a typical home in the middle third of the market, single-family homes and condos together, smoothed and seasonally adjusted. It moves slowly and is the best single figure for the trend.
The median sale price is what homes actually sold for in a month. Duluth is a small market, so it swings: $475,000 in May 2026, $420,000 in June and $396,950 in July. Read the trend over several months, not one.
Ten years of Duluth home values
The biggest jumps came in 2021 and 2022, when the August figure rose by $60,172 and then $79,503. Since 2022 values have moved within a narrow band, peaking in December 2024.
Compared with the county and the metro
Duluth homes carry a premium over the county. In August 2026 the typical Duluth home was worth about $34,700 more than the Gwinnett County figure of $403,103. Both fell by a similar share in the past year: Duluth 2.5%, Gwinnett 2.4%.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s House Price Index, which tracks repeat sales of the same homes with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, rose 1.04% in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell area between the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026. The two measures differ because the FHFA index covers the whole metro and only homes with conforming mortgages.
