Houzeo cited a median home price of just $47,000, while Zillow's average home value ran considerably higher at $98,176 (down 12.3% year-over-year) -- with HomeSnacks ($86,107) and Movoto's July 2026 median list price ($77,900) falling between the two. This record discloses this real spread honestly rather than resolving it to one falsely precise number.
A genuinely active market despite low prices
Homes moved in an average of approximately 46 days at approximately 94.73% of asking price, with just 0.67 months of supply -- real, current signals of an active market for affordability-focused buyers and investors alike, even amid Johnstown's broader, honestly disclosed population decline.
A real, honest connection to the city's post-industrial decline
