Zillow's average home value ran $195,740 (June 2026, up 4.2% year-over-year); a separate source cited a lower $155,000-$184,000-ish range; and Ownwell's own property-tax-context page cited a notably lower $115,600 figure -- this record discloses the full spread rather than resolving it to one number.
