A real, disclosed three-way spread across sources

Redfin's median sale price ran $225,000 (as of March 2026, down 14.3% year-over-year), Zillow's typical home value ran notably higher at $263,685 (up 18.6% over the past year), and Movoto's cited median listing price ran $300,000 (June 2026, ~$144/sq ft) -- this record does not resolve this to one figure (base record).

A plausible methodology explanation

This spread plausibly reflects different measurement methodologies -- sold prices (Redfin) versus a typical-value index (Zillow) versus listing/asking prices (Movoto) -- rather than a single clear market trend (base record).

Genuinely affordable relative to national benchmarks

All three cited figures run below the roughly $393,134 national median home value, keeping Artesia genuinely affordable by national standards regardless of which local figure proves most representative.
