Zillow's average home value ran approximately $140,894 (down 1.1% year-over-year), while a separate Census-derived median property-value figure (2024) ran somewhat lower, at approximately $134,300 -- this record discloses both (base record).
An above-national homeownership rate
Raton's homeownership rate runs approximately 67.3%, above the national average of approximately 65.2% (base record).
Why Ownwell's tax-context figure runs lower still
Ownwell's separate property-tax-context figure (~$60,938) almost certainly reflects New Mexico's structural 33.3% assessed-value ratio rather than a comparable market-value estimate -- this record discloses that distinction rather than presenting it as a market price (base record).
