Housing is dominated by detached single-family homes, which account for about 84% of local properties, while condominiums and co-ops represent approximately 0% and commercial properties make up roughly 4%; the remaining share consists primarily of vacant parcels, mobile homes, agricultural land, and other mixed uses. The median home value is approximately $85,000, although prices can vary substantially based on acreage, condition, road access, and whether a property has been updated, and the average asking or sale price per square foot is estimated near $70. Sales activity is limited because of the area’s small population and low inventory, with an estimated average of about 3 residential transactions per year over the past 10 years. Properties in Petroleum generally appeal to buyers seeking affordability, privacy, recreational land, or rural living rather than a high-volume resale market, and well-maintained homes with usable acreage or modern improvements typically command the strongest local demand.
