A Lumber-Mill Town That Kept Growing North and East
Most of the houses in Clovis are young. Census estimates put the city's median year built at 1996, and 44% of its 43,691 housing units went up in 2000 or later.
The town itself goes back much further. Marcus Pollasky founded the township in 1891 next to land owned by wheat baron Clovis Cole, whose name the city still carries. Its first trade was lumber: a mill sat at the end of the Shaver Lake flume, and the lumber it brought down was shipped out on Pollasky's railroad. Clovis became an incorporated city in 1912.
New construction is still moving outward. Loma Vista has passed the 70% buildout point the City set before opening its next growth area, and the City plans to propose the specific plan for Heritage Grove, an 881-acre growth area in Clovis's sphere of influence on the city's northern edge near Willow and Shepherd avenues, in early 2027. Heritage Grove's design rules call for Spanish- and Mediterranean-style homes, a change from Loma Vista's Craftsman look.
Old Town to the Northeast Master Plans
Three Clovis areas that show how far the city has spread from its original center.
Old Town Clovis
Pollasky Avenue still runs through Old Town, so the founder's name is on the street signs. The City's plan for the Old Town core treats it as a historic, walkable storefront district, and living units on the second floor and above are allowed there with a conditional use permit.
Loma Vista
Loma Vista is built under its own City specific plan, with an environmental review certified in February 2003. It is organized around Village Green, a seven-acre park, with a large shopping center at Shaw and Leonard, and its houses lean toward Craftsman styling.
Harlan Ranch
Harlan Ranch is a 410-acre mixed-use development with several housing densities, neighborhood parks and a trail system. It sat just outside the northeast city limits when it was proposed, and the land has since been annexed into Clovis.
Mostly Newer Construction, With an Older Core
PropertyRadar's single-family records follow the same timeline: 41% of Clovis houses were built from 1990 through 2009 and 25% from 2010 on, while 1,231 date from before 1950. The Census, which counts apartments and every other housing type, puts 75% of the city's units in detached single-family houses and 28% of all units before 1980.
Those pre-1980 houses are where lead paint comes into the picture. Lead-based paint was banned for home use in 1978 but remains in millions of homes, and federal rules require sellers of most pre-1978 housing to disclose known lead-based paint hazards before a sale. An old roof, foundation issues or outdated everything don't have to be fixed before you sell to us; we buy houses as-is.
| Year built | Single-family homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Before 1950 | 1,231 | 3% |
| 1950–1969 | 2,914 | 7% |
| 1970–1989 | 9,262 | 23% |
| 1990–2009 | 16,365 | 41% |
| 2010 or later | 9,990 | 25% |

Clovis by the Numbers
Source: PropertyRadar property records, pulled October 18, 2026. Counts cover single-family properties with a Clovis site address in Fresno County. A site address uses the property's postal city, so these counts can include homes outside the city limits, in nearby unincorporated areas. "Median value range" means half of these homes have a PropertyRadar estimated value at or below $550,000 and fewer than half are at or below $525,000. Owner-occupied vs. absentee-owned is estimated from whether the owner’s mailing address matches the property or it carries a homeowner’s exemption. These are public-record estimates, not appraisals, and say nothing about any one home.
PropertyRadar counts 39,762 single-family houses with a Clovis site address. Roughly 83% appear to be lived in by their owners, and the other 6,810 belong to owners whose mailing address is somewhere else. Just 213 were on the market on the day the data was pulled, and the midpoint of PropertyRadar's value estimates for these houses falls between $525,000 and $550,000.

Probate, Foreclosure and Public Records for Clovis Homes
Probate for someone who lived in Clovis is handled by the Superior Court of California, County of Fresno; petitions go to the Probate Clerk's Office in Room 300 on the third floor of the B.F. Sisk Courthouse at 1130 O Street in Fresno. The court notes that some legal process is often needed even when full probate isn't, especially when the estate includes real property, so a California attorney is the right person to ask about a specific estate.
On the foreclosure side, the formal public process begins when a Notice of Default is recorded with the county recorder, and a notice of trustee's sale must also be recorded there at least 20 days before a sale (Civil Code 2924 and 2924f). For Clovis property, that office is the Fresno County Recorder at 1250 Van Ness Ave in Fresno, which also records deeds; its free Property Owner's Protection Alert emails subscribers whenever a document is recorded under their name or parcel number.
This is general information about how the process works, not legal or tax advice. Every estate and every foreclosure is different — talk with a California probate or real estate attorney (and a tax professional) about your situation.

Clovis Home Seller Questions
Can people live above the shops in Old Town Clovis?
The City's plan designates the Old Town core for storefront commercial uses, with dwelling units allowed on the second floor and above once a conditional use permit is approved. For a particular building, check with City of Clovis planning staff.
How much are Clovis water bills going up?
The City Council voted in April 2026 to raise average water rates 21% in January 2027, another 21% in 2028 and 18% in 2029, and City staff described a system built in the 1970s and 1980s as aging. Those are averages, so your own bill may differ.
What do Clovis houses typically go for?
By PropertyRadar's automated estimates, the middle value for Clovis single-family houses sits between $525,000 and $550,000. Size, condition and location can push a house far from that midpoint, which is why we look at the house itself and recent nearby sales before making an offer.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no fees to work with us. We also cover the standard closing costs, so the offer we agree on is what you can expect to walk away with (minus any existing mortgage or liens on the property).
Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house?
No. We buy houses as-is. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest — we'll handle the cleanout and the repairs after closing.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Not at all. Our offer is free and there's no obligation. If selling to us isn't the right fit, we'll still try to point you toward a better option.
