The typical home value in Pleasanton was estimated at $1,213,900 by December <br />of 2020, per data from Zillow. By comparison, the typical home value was $951,380 in Alameda <br />County and $1,077,230 the Bay Area (see Figure A-40)20. <br />The region’s home values have increased steadily since 2000, besides a decrease during the <br />Great Recession. The rise in home prices has been especially steep since 2012, with the median <br />home value in the Bay Area nearly doubling during this time. Since 2001, the typical home value <br />has increased 143.8 percent in Pleasanton from $497,900 to $1,213,900. <br />Figure A-40: Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Owner-occupied housing units <br />Zillow describes the ZHVI as a smoothed, seasonally adjusted measure of the typical home value and market changes across a <br />given region and housing type.
