Redfin's median sale price over the three months ending May 2026 was $523,000, up a sharp 22.8% YoY; the current (August 2026) median list price ran $525,000, consistent with that figure. Zillow separately cited an average home value of $354,640 (+2.6% YoY) and a differently-scoped typical value of $306,877 -- lower, but still a real, disclosed spread rather than a single settled number.
Real, trail-driven demand pressure
This price premium tracks directly with the Swamp Rabbit Trail's documented economic transformation of the town -- genuine demand growth, not speculative pricing disconnected from any underlying driver.
Buyers prioritizing affordability should compare against other markets in this batch
