A real, disclosed price spread, all trending downward

Redfin's 3-month average median sale price (ending May 2026) ran $647,000 (down 10.4% year-over-year); Zillow's typical home value ran $796,733 (down 5.2%); Homes.com cited $720,000 (down 4%) -- this real, disclosed spread is not reconciled to one figure, but all three sources agree values were declining as of mid-2026.

Vacation rentals and second homes compete directly with long-term housing supply

Sisters' small permanent housing stock competes against real, substantial vacation-rental and second-home demand, a documented factor making long-term rentals genuinely hard to find in a town of under 3,000 residents.

A genuinely small, spread-out rental market

One-bedroom rent figures range from $1,469 (Apartments.com, May 2025) to $1,780-$2,465 (RentCafe, June 2026) -- a real, disclosed spread reflecting both genuine market movement and the volatility a tiny rental sample naturally produces.
