VISALIA, CA — By late 2025, the housing market across the Visalia area was moving in several different directions. While rising interest rates have slowed overall growth, a shortage of homes for sale has kept prices steady or rising in many local communities.
According to a Stacker report using Zillow data, the typical U.S. home value reached $360,782 in November 2025. This represents a small 0.2% increase from the previous year. Higher mortgage rates are causing property value growth to slow nationally, though local buyers in the region are still competing for a limited supply of starter homes.
Regional Growth Leaders
Ducor recorded the fastest annual growth in the region. Property values there jumped 7.3% over 12 months, an increase of about $17,795 for a typical home.
Three Rivers remains the most expensive market in the Visalia area. The typical home value there is $541,617, following a 3.3% annual increase of $17,479. Kingsburg ranks as the second priciest city with an average price of $464,243, which is also up 3.3% from a year ago.
In the city of Visalia, the typical home value reached $390,176, making it the fourth most expensive city in the area. This was a modest 0.9% increase, or $3,431, over the past year. Looking at long-term trends, Ivanhoe has seen the highest growth in the region since 2020, with property values surging 55.4%.
Market Stability and Declines
Some communities saw prices dip as the market adjusted to higher interest rates. Tipton saw the biggest price drop in the area, with values falling 2.1%. This decrease of $5,736 brought the typical home price to $262,295.
Tulare’s market remained mostly stable. The city saw a minor annual decrease of 0.1%, with typical values dipping by $231 to $346,060.
These local changes reflect the national trend: while high interest rates have cooled the market, the lack of homes for sale is preventing a significant drop in prices across the region.
