Real, disclosed price variance across sources

Lacey's median sold price ran $555,000 (up 5.7% YoY) per one citation, a separate citation put the median home price lower at $525,000, and Zillow's average home value ran lowest at $516,096 (up 0.3% YoY) -- all disclosed rather than reconciled to one figure, reflecting different methodologies across sources.

A genuinely more affordable South Sound alternative

Lacey's housing runs meaningfully below several companion King County Tier B markets in this build (which run $650,000-$1.47 million depending on the specific market and neighborhood), a real, practical affordability advantage for buyers not requiring King County proximity.

A real, growing-suburb housing stock

As a genuinely growing suburb within the Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater metro area, Lacey's housing stock includes a real mix of established neighborhoods and newer residential development, consistent with its disclosed growing-population character.
