Zillow's cited average home value ran $138,531, while a separate count of 37 currently active listings averaged notably higher at $219,565 -- a real, disclosed divergence this record does not resolve to one figure (base record).
A plausible methodological explanation
This spread plausibly reflects the familiar gap between a broad value-index estimate across the full housing stock and the higher-priced subset of homes actively listed for sale at any given point in time, rather than a genuine doubling in typical home value.
Genuinely affordable relative to national benchmarks
Both cited figures run well below the roughly $355,000-$375,000 national 2026 range used consistently across this project's records, keeping New Martinsville genuinely affordable regardless of which local figure proves more representative.
