What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 206 closed sales in Butler over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $102,050. 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 $55,000 and $150,000. 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. Across the 158 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $42 and $103 per square foot.

The Butler angle
Butler pairs a wide closed price band with a sample that holds up. Across 206 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median closed sale price was $102,050, and the middle half of sales closed between $55,000 and $150,000. That band is wider than most markets we track, which means the median is context and not a valuation. The two halves of that band are close to the same width, so $102,050 sits near the middle of it rather than off to one side. Neither direction carries more room than the other, which makes how well a comp matches on type and size the thing that decides the answer.
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 Butler 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 Butler over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Butler 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 28% of the 206 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $125,000.
