Do two methods point the same way?

Zillow estimates a current home value. FHFA tracks repeat mortgage transactions. Their growth rates should be read side by side, not averaged.

County brief

What the local evidence says

01Decision frame

Crockett County presents a cross-current: Zillow’s county median home value is $117,984, down 11.03% year over year, while covered-workplace measures improved. That makes this a diligence case rather than a clean directional read: investors who require demonstrated rent coverage and a documented resale market should be cautious; investigators should test individual properties and local demand. No FHFA annual HPI is published, so a repeat-transaction index neither confirms nor challenges Zillow’s direction.

02Housing economics

Measured market rent is not published, so gross yield cannot be computed from the record. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $1,015 per month is a payment standard, not a market asking-rent estimate, and cannot be substituted into yield. Effective property-tax rate and median tax are also not published; without rent and tax evidence, the record cannot establish carrying-cost coverage or after-tax economics.

03Demand & competition

In 2025, QCEW reports 1,325 annual average covered jobs at county workplaces, up 3.76%, and an average weekly covered-worker wage of $1,151, up 6.08%. Trade, transportation, and utilities, the largest disclosed private supersector, accounts for 323 jobs, or 33.65% of private covered employment; this is concentration evidence, not a description of the whole county economy. Net migration was negative 33 tax-return households, while average income of departing moving households exceeded incoming households by $18,205. The record reports no investor purchases among 11 total purchases, a small purchase base that limits what this observation says about competition.

04Risk & next checks

Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and the modeled climate loss ratio is 0.31% of building value per year; it is a modeled county-level exposure rather than a parcel insurance quote or realized loss. Realtor.com MLS listing price, active listings, days on market, and price-reduced share are not published, preventing a read on visible supply, marketing time, and seller concessions. Missing FHFA, market-rent, tax, insurance, and listing evidence leaves price validation, yield, liquidity, and hazard-specific carrying costs unresolved. Next checks are parcel flood zone and insurance terms, actual lease comps, tax bill, and MLS or pending-listing history.

No rent index is published for this county.Zillow’s county rent series does not cover every county, and estimating one from a neighbouring county would be a guess wearing a number’s clothes. Everything above is measured here; no wider market is mapped for it either.
Bear case

What can break the county thesis

  1. Unpublished market rent and property-tax evidence could materially change the unresolved cash-flow picture.
  2. A small purchase base and absent MLS supply or marketing-time data may make buyer-competition inference unreliable.
  3. County-level flood-loss modeling may not match parcel exposure, insurance availability, or policy cost.
Underwriting questions

Before pricing a property

Can gross yield be calculated from this record?

No. Market rent is not published, and HUD FMR cannot replace it in a yield calculation.

What does the purchase record show about investor participation?

It reports no investor purchases in the available total-purchase observation.

What does the QCEW employment series measure?

It measures annual covered employment at workplaces in the county, not employment of county residents.
