The figures come from the Zillow Home Value Index, which Zillow Research published Oct. 16. The index covers single-family homes and condos together and tracks the middle third of homes by value. It is a smoothed, seasonally adjusted estimate, not a sale price.

- Owners: the typical home gained about $9,600 in a year, and the monthly gains have grown since June.
