Median House Price

Q4 2025

Kings Plains's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $678,000 in the December 2025 quarter, roughly 27% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only two sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 118% over the past decade — 9.1% per year on average.
