What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 202 closed sales in Gaffney over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $192,400. 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 $130,000 and $262,000. 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. 97% of the Gaffney 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 199 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $101 and $149 per square foot.

The Gaffney angle
Width is the headline in Gaffney. The distance from $130,000 to $262,000 is wider than most markets we track, which means the citywide median is carrying a lot of variety on its shoulders. Practically, $192,400 answers the question of what the middle closing looked like, and almost nothing about what any particular address is worth. The middle half of sales occupies that wide stretch, and half of all closings sit outside it entirely. The band is close to even around $192,400: the ground down to $130,000 and the ground up to $262,000 are about the same. A comp set that drifts low misprices about as much as one that drifts high, so spend your effort on matching rather than on placement.
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 Gaffney 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 Gaffney over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Gaffney 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 16% of the 202 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $200,950.

Can I price a house here by starting at the citywide midpoint?
Not with any confidence. Gaffney's middle half of sales runs from $130,000 to $262,000, a wider stretch than most markets we track, so the midpoint sits a long way from many individual closings. Starting there means starting with a large unknown error and then trying to adjust it away. Build the estimate from closings matched on property type, size and condition, and treat $192,400 as context for the city rather than a base price for the house.
