HomeSnacks/Zillow-derived data cited a median home value of $173,360, while Redfin's own single-month median sale price ran $305,000, up 64.9% year-over-year -- a real, disclosed spread likely driven by Batesville's modest monthly sales volume (base record).
A real rent spread
Rent estimates ranged from approximately $632/month to $914/month across sources -- a genuinely notable spread this record discloses rather than resolving to one figure (base record).
A low property tax offset by a high sales tax
Batesville's 0.74% effective property tax rate runs genuinely below both Arkansas and national medians, but its combined 10% sales tax rate (6.5% state + 1.5% county + 2% city) runs above Arkansas's own already-elevated 9.48% statewide average (base record).
Key takeaways
- Home values carry a real, wide cross-source spread ($173,360-$305,000).
- Rent runs $632-$914/month across cited sources.
- A 0.74% property tax rate is genuinely low, offset by a 10% combined sales tax rate above Arkansas's statewide average.
