What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 340 closed sales in Benton over the last six months, with a median closing price of $244,750. 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 $198,500 and $339,900. 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. 99% of the Benton 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 340 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $126 and $162 per square foot.

The Benton angle
Benton looks moderate on the surface and skewed underneath. Resideline tracked 340 closings over the last six months, a median closed sale price of $244,750, and a middle half of sales closing between $198,500 and $339,900, a band width close to typical for the markets we track. What matters more than that width is the shape: the stretch from the median up to the upper quartile is far longer than the stretch from the lower quartile up to the median, so the top half of the market fans out while the bottom half stays compressed. For a below average subject the median is a decent reference point; for an above average one it is a floor, not a target.
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 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. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Benton address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

Does the Benton median work as an anchor for both cheaper and pricier homes?
It works far better on the lower end. Benton closings between $198,500 and $244,750 sit close together, so the median predicts well there. Above the median the data spreads out toward $339,900 and beyond, and an anchored estimate will understate. For a stronger property, build from matched upper half closed sales instead.
