A moderate year-over-year value gain

Zillow's average home value ran approximately $220,766 as of May 2026, up 3.8% year-over-year -- McPherson's primary housing figure in this record (base record).

A real, disclosed spread across sources

Coldwell Banker cited a $264,000 median across its active listings, while Redfin's median sale price ran $249,000 as of November 2025 (down 7.1% year-over-year) -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve to one number (base record).

A moderate property tax rate factors into total housing cost

McPherson's effective property tax rate (Ownwell's cited 1.49%) runs above the national median but below the Kansas statewide median cited alongside it -- movers should factor this into total monthly housing cost (base record).
