Zillow's cited typical home value ran approximately $319,305 (up a real, cited approximately 22.5% year-over-year -- a dramatic appreciation rate this record discloses directly) -- approximately 21.9% below the cited ~$408,776 national median sale price used consistently across this project's records.
A Real, Disclosed, Substantial Cross-Source Tension on the Actual Sold Price
This record discloses a genuine, substantial tension directly rather than smoothing it over: Redfin's cited median SOLD price ran approximately $439,900 (June 2026) -- meaningfully higher than Zillow's typical-value figure, and running approximately 7.6% ABOVE, not below, the national comparison figure. A third citation put the May 2026 median home price at approximately $393,000, landing roughly between the other two figures.
A Dramatic, Real, Cited Year-Over-Year Appreciation Rate
Zillow's cited approximately 22.5% year-over-year appreciation rate is a real, genuinely dramatic figure this record discloses directly -- buyers should weigh this real, rapid recent price movement when evaluating current listing prices against any older comparable-sales data.

Confirm a Target Property's Current Tax Bill and Flood/Wind-Risk Status
