Zillow's cited average home value ran approximately $295,453 (up ~1.2% YoY, as of June 30, 2026) -- roughly 30% below the cited Maine statewide average of approximately $424,107, and below this project's ~$408,776 national comparison figure by roughly 23-28% depending on the specific citation used.
A Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread on the Exact Current Price
This record discloses a real, genuine cross-source spread directly rather than resolving it to one number: Redfin's cited median sale price ran approximately $315,000 (May 2026), a separate median list-price citation ran approximately $303,000 (August 2026), and Ownwell's cited 2024 median sale price ran approximately $270,000 -- a somewhat dated figure relative to the 2026 citations.
Real, Disclosed Neighborhood-Level Price Variation
As detailed on the best-areas topic page, sources reviewed this pass cited real, disclosed neighborhood-level median-price variation, from approximately $289,000 in Fairmount to approximately $500,000 in the historic Whitney Park neighborhood, with a general (though not precise, address-level) pattern of higher prices in the eastern parts of the city and more affordable homes in the western regions.
Homes Move Quickly Relative to a Typical Market
Sources reviewed this pass cited homes going to pending in around 17 days in the Bangor market -- a real, genuine indicator of buyer demand this record discloses directly, though it did not independently research current inventory levels or days-on-market trends to comparable depth this pass.
Confirm the Actual Current Effective Property Tax Rate for a Target Property
As detailed on the property-taxes topic page, Bangor's own cited effective rate (~1.92%) runs genuinely high, nearly double the national comparison figure -- buyers should factor this real, disclosed cost into an overall affordability calculation rather than judging Bangor solely on its comparatively low purchase prices.
