What this figure is
It is not a sale price. The Census Bureau asks homeowners what they think their home would sell for, and this is the middle answer for owner-occupied homes in Missouri. It covers every kind of home people own and live in, from condos to large houses, so the price of a particular house on the market can be far from it.
The figure describes the whole of 2020–2024, not a single year, and it is not adjusted for price changes since then. A survey always carries some uncertainty: the true value is very likely within $880 of the one shown.
