A real, disclosed data-quality distinction

This record's own research could not confirm a Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) figure for Central City -- the best available figure was an average ACTIVE LISTING price of approximately $181,228, a genuinely different metric this record does not present as an index-based home value (base record).

A real, wide listing-price range

Active listings ranged from approximately $120,000 to $359,900 -- a genuinely wide range reflecting the diversity of housing stock in a small county-seat market (base record).

Genuinely affordable relative to national and state benchmarks

Central City's housing runs well below the roughly $393,134 national median home value and Nebraska's own statewide average (~$276,477), keeping it genuinely affordable by both comparisons.

Confirm current, address-specific listings directly

Given the real, disclosed data-quality limitation and wide listing-price range, confirm current listings and recent comparable closed sales directly with a local agent before setting a firm budget.
