From January through June of 2025, 72 homes were sold in the county, with a median sale price of $94,500. This is a 35% increase over the $70,000 median sale price during the same period in 2024, when there were 87 homes sold.

The U.S. housing market has surged in recent years, with its total value approaching $50 trillion in 2024—nearly five times its value in 2000.

“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
