How California compares
At $1,049,000, the median California listing is about 2.8 times the national median of $370,000, making California the most expensive of the 50 states in the game. Per square foot, California homes list for about $606 versus $221 nationally — the 2nd most expensive on that measure.
Tips for guessing California prices
A handy rule of thumb: at $606 per square foot, a 2,000 sq ft California home would list somewhere near $1.21M — before you adjust for location, condition, lot size and finishes.
Expect a wide spread: California listings in the game start around $59K and run as high as $50M, so the photos matter as much as the averages.
Where the California listings are
Los Angeles, Fresno and Sacramento have the most California homes in the game. Big-city listings and small-town ones can sit far apart on price, so the location badge is worth a look before you guess.
- Los Angeles · 464 listings

How the game works
Each round shows a real listing's photos, beds, baths and square footage. Drag the slider to your best price guess — the closer you land, the more of the 1,000 points you keep. Prices stay hidden until you lock in, so there's no peeking.
The daily challenge is free: five listings, the same for every player, drawn from all over the country — so California homes turn up alongside everywhere else. Solo play lets you filter the pool down to a single state if you want to drill your home market.
