June 2026 figures show a $650,000 median sale price, $673,737 average sale price, and $709,000 median list price -- all above Rhode Island's own statewide range (base record).
A distinct, lower Zillow ZHVI figure
Zillow's ZHVI ('typical home value') ran a genuinely lower $530,383 -- a real, disclosed methodological gap between Zestimate-based and actual-sale-price figures this record does not resolve to one number (base record).
A real rural land-value premium
Exeter's above-statewide pricing reflects a genuine South County rural-land premium rather than a downtown or dense-housing market -- large-lot, farmland-adjacent parcels define the local inventory (base record).
