A genuinely wide, disclosed price range

Zillow's average home value ran $220,927 (up 1.4% year-over-year), while separate sources cited figures from $169,000 (down 18.4% YoY) to $336,450 -- this record discloses the full range rather than picking one number.

A student-driven, seasonal demand pattern

With OU's 23,264-student enrollment shaping local housing and rental demand, Athens's real estate market carries genuine seasonal patterns tied to the academic calendar, distinct from a typical non-college-town market.
