Zillow's average home value ran $304,840 (+9.4% YoY), a separate source cited a $334,000 median list price (June 2026), and a substantially lower $177,300 figure was cited alongside Ownwell's property-tax data (base record).
The lowest figure likely reflects assessed, not market, value
This record discloses that the $177,300 figure most plausibly reflects assessed/taxable value rather than current market value, a pattern this project's Ranson, WV record separately documented, though this record does not force that reconciliation as certain (base record).
Below Montana's statewide average across every source
Even the highest cited figure ($334,000) runs below Montana's own $467,919 statewide average home value, and buying in Fort Benton runs approximately 1% below the national average per one source.
