U.S. Housing Prices Rise 2.1% as Median Sale Price Reaches $391,475

In the four weeks ending March 29, San Francisco posted the largest gain at 12.6%, followed by Detroit, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee, according to the provided data.

Fact Check
The core numerical claim is strongly supported by the fetched Redfin report, which explicitly says the median U.S. home-sale price rose 2.1% year over year to $391,475 in the four weeks ending March 29, 2026. The Yahoo Finance/Business Wire copy independently repeats the same figures. For the metro ranking, the fetched Redfin page did not fully expose the metro table in the returned excerpt, but a corroborating web search result snippet for the same Redfin report states: San Francisco (12.6%), followed by Detroit, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee. Because that metro-detail point was corroborated by search snippets rather than a fully fetched table, confidence is medium rather than high.
