- •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 210

What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 210 closed sales in Ephrata over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $279,750. 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 $230,000 and $360,000. 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 209 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $152 and $223 per square foot.

The Ephrata angle
Ephrata shows 210 tracked closings over the last 12 months, a median closed sale price of $279,750, and a middle half between $230,000 and $360,000. The band is close to typical for the markets we track, and the climb from $279,750 to $360,000 is longer than the step down to $230,000. That pairing describes a market with a normal amount of variation and a longer reach of stronger sales, so the risk in a quick valuation is understating a good house rather than overstating a weak one.
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 Ephrata 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 Ephrata over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Ephrata 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 26% of the 210 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $292,000.

Which way does a quick estimate go wrong in Ephrata?
Usually low, on the stronger properties. The band on this page reaches further above the median than below it, so a strong house has more room to run than a weak one does and an estimate built by nudging the midpoint will stop short. That is an argument about shape, not a forecast, so it tells you where to be careful rather than what a house is worth. Match against the attributes that make your subject strong and price from closings that share them.
