Redfin cited a median sale price of approximately $206,000 for the most recent month searched in 2026 (up ~1.1% YoY), while Zillow separately cited an average home value of approximately $246,060 (up ~7.6% YoY, updated 5/31/2026) -- both figures run roughly 40-50% below the ~$408,776 national median comparison figure used consistently across this project's records.
A Real, Disclosed Gap Between the Redfin and Zillow Figures
This record discloses a real, unreconciled gap directly rather than smoothing it over: Zillow's average-VALUE figure (~$246,060) runs meaningfully higher than Redfin's median transacted-SALE-price figure (~$206,000). This record did not independently determine whether this reflects a genuine market-methodology difference (average vs. median, estimated value vs. closed transaction) or a real underlying discrepancy this pass.
A Real, Disclosed Signal of Continued Price Appreciation Pressure
Redfin described Aberdeen's market as 'somewhat competitive,' with average days-on-market at approximately 22 days (versus 19 days the prior year) and median price-per-square-foot up a real, disclosed approximately 14.3% year-over-year to approximately $195 -- a real signal of continued, if modest, price appreciation pressure even in a genuinely affordable overall market.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched to Comparable Depth This Pass
This record did not independently research Aberdeen neighborhood-level price variance to comparable depth this pass -- buyers should confirm current, specific listing and closed-sale data directly for a target neighborhood.
Confirm a Target Property's Current Severe-Weather and Flood Exposure Directly
As detailed on the flood-hurricane-risk topic page, Aberdeen and Brown County carry real, current severe-storm and James River flood risk at specific measured river-gauge thresholds -- confirm a specific target property's exposure directly before removing contingencies.
