Zillow's average home value for University City ran $276,020 as of June 2026, while a separately cited 2024 median property-value figure ran a higher $306,700 -- a real, disclosed cross-source and cross-vintage spread rather than one falsely precise number.
A notably higher tax-assessment home-value basis
Ownwell's own cited median home value for its property-tax calculation ($573,900) runs notably higher than both housing figures above -- a real, disclosed tension this record does not resolve, since Ownwell's own valuation basis was not independently verified this pass.
