How Much Have Longview Home Values Increased in the Past Year?
Dated: February 11 2026

Home values don’t move in a straight line — and they don’t move uniformly across every neighborhood in Longview.
Over the past year, appreciation in our market has largely depended on price range, condition, and inventory levels. Entry-level and mid-range homes often experience stronger upward pressure when inventory is limited. Higher-end homes may appreciate at a slower pace due to a smaller buyer pool.
To accurately measure value increases, I analyze:
Year-over-year median sale prices
Average price per square foot trends
List-to-sale price ratios
Inventory shifts
Absorption rates
For example, if median prices increased but inventory also rose significantly, that tells a different story than a market where inventory remained tight and competition intensified.
It’s also important to distinguish between asking prices and closed sale prices. The true measure of appreciation is what buyers were willing to pay — not what sellers initially hoped to receive.
If you’re wondering how much your specific home has appreciated, the only reliable answer comes from reviewing comparable sales within your immediate neighborhood and school zone. A broad market percentage doesn’t always reflect your property’s true position.
The right analysis protects you from underpricing in a strong segment — and from overpricing in a more balanced one.
