Buford, GA Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months
What homes actually sell for in Buford: a median closing price of $570,000 across 260 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, plus the full price spread and a ZIP-level breakdown.
Buford produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last 12 months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.
The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 260
- •Median sold price, last 12 months: $570,000
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $217
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $399,000 and $787,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 260 closed sales in Buford over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $570,000. 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 $399,000 and $787,000. 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. 86% of the Buford 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 253 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $182 and $257 per square foot.

The Buford angle
Buford closed sales cluster more than they do in most markets we track. Across 260 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median closed sale price was $570,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $399,000 and $787,000. A spread that tight means the median is a genuinely informative anchor, and pricing errors are more likely to come from misjudging whether a property is typical than from the band being uninformative. Note that the distance from the median up to the upper quartile is larger than the distance down to the lower quartile, so the upper part of the market does extend.

From market read to offer price
A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. 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, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it depends on a confirmed closing price reaching us, which happens for only a small share of Georgia homes, so the accuracy scoreboard is a national record rather than a Georgia one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Buford 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 Buford over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Buford 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 25% of the 260 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $590,000.

How many homes sold in Buford last month?

What is the typical price per square foot in Buford?
Among qualifying Buford closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $217, measured across 253 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.
Does a tight quartile band make Buford, GA easier to price?
It makes the median more useful, not the work optional. When the middle half of closings sits in a narrow range, a typical property should price near the centre, so the real question is whether the subject is typical. Confirm that with matched closed sales, and treat a value pushed well above the upper quartile as a claim that needs its own comps.
