How home values in Ocean Shores have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,424 (±$114)	$1,542 (±$123)	+8.3%	Down after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$1,891 (±$134)	$2,477 (±$220)	+31.0%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
