What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 221 closed sales in Black Mountain over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $470,000. 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 $342,500 and $672,000. 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. 82% of the Black Mountain 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 221 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $241 and $379 per square foot.

The Black Mountain angle
Black Mountain's 221 tracked closings over the last 12 months produced a median of $470,000 and a middle half between $342,500 and $672,000. The band is wider than most markets we track, which is typical of a market where setting, elevation and view are priced separately from the house itself. The band stretches further above $470,000 than below it, so the premium end carries a wider range of plausible answers than the ordinary end does.
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. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Black Mountain address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.
Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Black Mountain over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Black Mountain city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 24% of the 221 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $499,900.
Frequently Asked Questions

How many homes sold in Black Mountain last month?

What is the typical price per square foot in Black Mountain?
Among qualifying Black Mountain closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $307, measured across 221 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.
How do view and setting affect a Black Mountain home value?
They widen the market rather than shift it, and the published band shows the effect. The middle half of tracked closings is wider than most markets we track, and the stretch above the median is the longer one, which is what you see when a premium attribute is present in some sales and absent in others. A median cannot tell you which side of that your property is on. Treat setting as a selection criterion for comparable sales rather than as a percentage you add at the end.
