Redfin's median sale price ran $153,000 as of November 2025, down a modest 1.3% year-over-year -- genuinely affordable relative to national benchmarks (base record).
A real, disclosed spread against list-price data
Movoto separately cited a $198,000 median list price for July 2026 and a $184,450 median sold price for April 2026 -- both notably higher than Redfin's figure, disclosed rather than reconciled to one number (base record).
A moderate property tax rate factors into total housing cost
El Dorado's effective property tax rate (Ownwell's cited 1.44%) runs above the national median -- movers should factor this into total monthly housing cost, though the resulting bill still runs well below the national median bill (base record).
