Three valid numbers that answer three different questions
Public housing pages can appear inconsistent when their labels are stripped away. Zillow reported a $362,300 typical home value for Vero Beach through August 31, 2026. Redfin reported a $345,022 median sale price for all home types in August. Realtor.com reported a $425,000 citywide median listing price in September. None of those figures should replace the others.
ZHVI is a modeled index for the typical value of homes in the middle of the market. A median sale price summarizes the homes that closed during a period. A median listing price summarizes the homes being offered for sale. Changes in which homes are listed or sold can move a median even if no individual property changed by the same amount.
| Provider | Metric | Value | Period | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zillow | ZHVI | $362,300 | Through Aug. 31, 2026 | Modeled typical home value |
| Redfin | Median sale price | $345,022 | Aug. 2026 | Middle closed-sale price for all home types |
| Realtor.com | Median listing price | $425,000 | Sept. 2026 | Middle asking price among listed homes |
| Realtor.com | Median sold price | $379,500 | Sept. 2026 | Middle sold price on the provider page |
| Zillow | Median list price | $403,166 | Aug. 31, 2026 | Middle list price in Zillow's series |
Market pace also depends on the event being timed
Zillow reported 60 median days to pending through August 31. Redfin reported 96 median days on market in August and described a roughly 95-day path to pending over its recent three-month competitiveness window. Realtor.com reported 86 median days on market in September. These are not interchangeable clocks.
Pending measures stop when a contract is reached. Days on market can reflect provider-specific listing and status rules. A seller should therefore use the trend and the property-level comparable set, not assume that one broad number predicts the timing of a particular listing.
- Zillow: 60 median days to pending, August 31, 2026.
- Redfin: 96 median days on market, August 2026; 20 fewer days than a year earlier.
- Realtor.com: 86 median days on market, September 2026; 7.87% lower year over year.
Negotiation indicators point in the same broad direction
The providers' negotiation measures differ in level but share a broad message: many transactions were closing below asking price. Zillow reported a 0.964 median sale-to-list ratio for July, 82.2% of sales under list, and 5.5% over list. Redfin reported a 93.3% sale-to-list ratio in August, 2.6% sold above list, and 29.9% of homes with price drops. Realtor.com described September sales at 96% of asking on average.
Those figures support careful offer and pricing work, but they do not establish a universal discount. Property condition, micro-location, financing, competition, and the accuracy of the original list price still control the individual negotiation.
What can be said with confidence
The public evidence describes a market with meaningful buyer choice and room for negotiation in many transactions, alongside a shorter marketing period than the prior year in Redfin and Realtor.com series. At the same time, the providers report different samples and definitions, so a single blended number would be false precision.
The appropriate use is a layered one: use broad public series to frame the conversation, then evaluate the property's direct competition, recent comparable sales, condition, carrying costs, and the seller's timing.

Scope and limitations
- The page resolves to Vero Beach. The source-map's older Zillow slug label did not establish Indian River Shores coverage, so no Indian River Shores claim is drawn from Zillow here.
- Provider periods range from July through September 2026 and must not be presented as one common month.
- Listing medians, sale medians, and modeled values measure different populations and cannot be used as direct property valuations.
- The public pages do not establish a luxury, waterfront, barrier-island, condo, or neighborhood-specific result.
