What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 278 closed sales in Arlington over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $449,450. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $360,000 and $546,500. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 98% of the Arlington closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 259 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $157 and $189 per square foot.

The Arlington angle
An ordinary spread and a solid record describe Arlington, Tennessee. Neither figure argues for unusual caution, which makes it easy to skip the step that actually matters. That step is checking where your subject sits inside the band before you accept any estimate. $360,000 to $546,500 spans the middle half of tracked sales; closings below and above those marks are outside it entirely. A property in either tail is not described by the citywide figures at all, and comps for it have to come from the same tail. A broad set will quietly compress it back toward the middle.

From market read to offer price
A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Arlington address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

What is the typical price per square foot in Arlington?
Among qualifying Arlington closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $174, measured across 259 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.
What if an Arlington, TN property falls outside the citywide price band?
Then the citywide figures are describing a different population from your subject and you should stop using them as an anchor. The band covers the middle half of tracked sales; closings above $546,500 and below $360,000 happen and are not errors. For a subject in either tail, build comps from that tail specifically, accept that there will be fewer of them, and say so in the estimate. Arlington's 278 closings make a solid sample, so a tail subset is usually still findable.
