A real, disclosed spread across sources
Redfin's median sale price ran $220,000 as of November 2025 (down 7.9% year-over-year), while Ownwell separately cited a notably lower $94,730 assessed-value-linked figure and a third source cited approximately $150,000 -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve to one number (base record).
A genuinely high property tax rate factors into total housing cost
Great Bend's effective property tax rate (Ownwell's cited 1.80%) runs well above the Kansas statewide and national medians -- movers should factor this into total monthly housing cost, not just the purchase price (base record).
