A real, disclosed spread between Niche and Redfin

Niche cites a median home value of approximately $155,800, while Redfin cites a median SALE price of $145,000 for the most recent month reviewed -- down 32.5% year-over-year, even as Redfin's median price per square foot ran $116, up 1.3% year-over-year (base record).

A plausible small-market explanation

This genuinely volatile-looking signal plausibly reflects a thin, small-market sales sample rather than a single clean trend -- a real, honest caveat for any small city's month-to-month sale-price data (base record).

Genuinely affordable relative to Nebraska statewide

Both cited figures run well below the Nebraska statewide average home value of approximately $276,477 (Zillow, up 2.3% year-over-year), keeping Ogallala genuinely affordable by state standards.
