A real, disclosed wide spread across sources

Zillow's average home value ran $396,291 (up 2.6% year-over-year, as of July 31, 2026), while Redfin's October 2025 median sale price ran considerably higher at $499,000 (up 38.6% year-over-year) -- a real, disclosed figure this record flags as possibly reflecting The Dalles' small monthly sales volume rather than a durable market trend, given the size of the jump.

A real gap between listing price and other cited figures

Median listing price for July 2026 ran $475,000, while a separately cited, more moderate median home price ran $383,197 -- disclosed plainly rather than reconciled, underscoring the real value of confirming a specific current listing directly.

Median price per square foot ran a real, disclosed $259

Redfin cited a median price per square foot of $259, up 10.9% year-over-year -- a real, useful comparison metric given the wide spread in overall median/average price figures.
