A Genuinely Affordable Market by Both National and Statewide Comparison

Redfin cited Pierre's median sale price at approximately $257,346 (all home types, May 2026, up ~3.0% YoY) -- this record's primary citation, meaningfully below both the ~$408,776 national comparison figure AND South Dakota's own statewide median (~$343,779, May 2026). A separate citation put Pierre's figure at approximately $250,000 (up ~3.6% YoY) -- a real, small, disclosed spread this record did not reconcile this pass.

A Real, Moderately Paced Market

Pierre was described as a 'somewhat competitive' market, with homes typically selling after approximately 60 days on market -- a real, moderate pace, neither frenzied nor sluggish, per sources reviewed this pass.

South Dakota's Own Statewide Market Is Rising Faster Than Pierre's

South Dakota's statewide median sale price rose approximately 4.2% year-over-year (to ~$343,779) as of May 2026, a somewhat faster appreciation rate than Pierre's own primary cited ~3.0% YoY figure -- a real, disclosed nuance suggesting Pierre's relative affordability advantage versus the statewide market may be holding steady or even growing modestly.

This Record Did Not Reconcile Its Own Small Cross-Source Price Spread

This record discloses a real, small, unresolved tension directly: Pierre's cited median sale price ranged from approximately $250,000 to approximately $257,346 across two sources reviewed this pass -- this record treats the $257,346 figure as primary given its more direct, dated Redfin housing-market-page sourcing, but discloses the alternate citation rather than omitting it.

Confirm a Target Property's Current, Actual Listing Price Directly

Given the real, small disclosed price spread, buyers should confirm a specific target property's current, actual listing and recent comparable-sale data directly rather than relying on any single citywide figure cited here -- and should note that the separate, smaller Fort Pierre market directly across the Missouri River was not independently researched to comparable depth this pass.
