Learn moreA real, disclosed two-source spread
Redfin's median sale price ran $290,000 (three months ending October 2025, up 43.9% YoY, $257/sqft); Homes.com cited a substantially higher $415,000 -- this record does not resolve that gap to one figure (base record).
A genuinely small, volatile transaction volume
Odessa's very small population (366) means very few home sales occur in any given period, making median price figures genuinely sensitive to individual transactions (base record).
A colonial-era, historic housing stock
Odessa's housing is genuinely dominated by well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century homes, distinct from a conventional modern suburban stock (base record).
