A real, disclosed cross-source spread

Charles City's March 2026 median list price ran approximately $125,000 (down 5% month-over-month), while separately cited figures ran from $136,200 to $156,914 -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not flatten to one number (base record).

A volatile year-over-year figure, honestly flagged

One cited median sale price (~$143,000) ran +65.7% year-over-year -- a figure this record flags as likely reflecting a small monthly transaction sample typical of a town this size, rather than a stable market-wide trend (base record).
