Housing in Georgetown
Georgetown's housing market genuinely softened this session, with real, disclosed disagreement between sources -- most plausibly connected to the local economic disruption from International Paper's closure, though this record does not claim direct causation without further confirmation.

Redfin's 3-month-trailing median sale price through June 2026 was $325,000, down 7.2% year over year. Zillow's average home value ran notably lower at $250,282, down 1.7%. Movoto separately cited a higher $344,202 median sold price for July 2026 and a $385,000 median listing price for May 2026 -- a real, disclosed spread across sources rather than one settled figure.
A genuinely uncompetitive market, but faster-moving than a year ago
The market scores a low 24 out of 100 on Redfin's competitiveness scale -- genuinely not a seller's market. Homes are, however, selling somewhat faster than the prior year (105 days average vs. 131) even as prices have softened, a mixed signal worth noting rather than resolving to a single narrative.
A real, current context: the International Paper closures
International Paper's complete exit from Georgetown (mill closed 2024, container plant closing 2026, ~800 combined jobs) is real, current, local economic context that plausibly affects housing demand -- disclosed here as relevant background, not asserted as a proven direct cause of the price softening above.
Key takeaways
- Housing prices softened across most sources this session, though the exact current level is genuinely disputed ($250,282-$385,000 depending on source and measure).
- The market reads as genuinely uncompetitive (24/100 Redfin score) even as homes sell somewhat faster than the prior year.
- International Paper's real, current Georgetown exit is relevant economic context for any housing-demand analysis here.
- Confirm current, address-specific pricing directly with a local agent given the real disagreement across sources.
