Learn moreA real, disclosed multi-source spread
Zillow's average home value ran $404,170 (up 4.9% YoY, April 2026), while other sources cited a $372,292 median, a higher $414,250 median, and a $449,000 median list price (July 2026) -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve to one figure (base record).
Genuinely at or above national norms
Every cited figure runs at or modestly above the roughly $393,134 national median home value -- one cited source described Harpers Ferry as approximately 1% more expensive than the national average, genuinely NOT an affordable market by this project's standard.
A real contrast to much of rural West Virginia
Harpers Ferry's housing costs run notably higher than most of rural West Virginia's genuinely affordable statewide housing picture (detailed in west-virginia.js), consistent with its Eastern Panhandle, DC-commuter-adjacent, historic-tourism-town character.
