A real, disclosed wide spread

Zillow's cited average home value ran $425,933 (+3.3% YoY, this record's anchor figure), while separate sources cited a $485,000 median sale price, a $535,000 August 2026 list median, and a $700,000 February 2026 figure this record treats as a likely thin-sample outlier (base record).

A genuinely small housing market

Shepherdstown's small population (~1,521) means its housing-sale sample runs genuinely thin month to month, plausibly explaining the wide disclosed spread (base record).

Above the national median

Shepherdstown's cited figures run at or above the ~$408,776 national median home value -- genuinely pricier than most other WV Tier B markets this project has documented (base record).
