A Real, Disclosed Price Spread and a Genuinely Affordable Market

Sioux City's typical home value ran approximately $189,774 in June 2026 per Zillow, up approximately 4.4% year-over-year. Redfin's cited median sale price ran somewhat higher, approximately $209,000 (per a November 2025 snapshot, up approximately 2.5% YoY, median price per square foot around $135, up approximately 8.0% YoY) -- and Redfin's own analysis cites Sioux City's median as running approximately 52% below the national average.

A Separate, Notably Lower Cited Figure This Record Does Not Resolve

A separate, real, cited source (Houzeo) placed Sioux City's median home price notably lower, at approximately $139,000 as of February 2026, up only approximately 0.21% YoY -- a real, disclosed cross-source spread this record does not resolve to one number, likely reflecting different methodology or sampled-property mix across sources.

Real, Substantial Variance by Specific Neighborhood

As detailed on the best-areas topic page, Sioux City's real, distinct neighborhoods carry different character and price points -- from the hilly, historic Morningside district to Leeds, Indian Hills, and the more affordable Riverside and East Side areas. Buyers should research current listing data for a specific target area directly.

Budget Sioux City's Real, Counterintuitively High Property Tax Rate on Top of the Purchase Price

As detailed on the property-taxes topic page, Sioux City's cited median effective property tax rate runs approximately 1.58% -- above the national median and this project's own verified Iowa statewide range -- a real, ongoing cost that offsets some of the market's genuine affordability advantage.
