Thanks to the steady presence of the Lemoore Naval Base, our market tends to remain strong—even when surrounding cities experience more dramatic ups and downs. However, it’s also true that trends often reach us a bit later than they do in larger neighboring markets, giving buyers and sellers a unique advantage: time to prepare and respond thoughtfully.

Let’s take a look at the latest market statistics for Hanford and Lemoore:

• Typical Home Value: $367,678
