What it means for buyers and sellers
Buyers targeting the sub-$300K segment will find Colonial School District inventory aligned with that price threshold, per the $290,000 median. Sellers should note the average price exceeds the median, meaning well-maintained or updated properties may command premiums above typical values. Both parties benefit from consulting hyperlocal comps, as 30 transactions provide limited statistical breadth for micro-neighborhood trends.
