A real, disclosed price spread across sources

A March 2026 median sold price ran $308,500 (average sale price $310,391), a March 2026 median list price ran $315,000, and the trailing-12-month median sale price ran $270,374 (up 9% YoY) -- a real spread this record does not resolve to one number (base record).

A genuinely slower-moving market

Homes sell after approximately 85 days on market on average, notably slower than the 54-day national average this pass found cited -- a real, disclosed sign of a less liquid market (base record).

A real, disclosed elevated property tax rate

Ownwell cites Waveland's median effective property tax rate at 1.26%, with a median annual bill of $1,673 (base record).
