Gaffney, SC Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Gaffney, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Gaffney sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 204
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $189,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $127
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $121,644 and $258,785

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 204 closed sales in Gaffney over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $189,000. 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 $121,644 and $258,785. 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 $94 and $149 per square foot.

Where Gaffney sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Gaffney over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $121,644 and $258,785. Among the 53 South Carolina markets with a published band, Gaffney's middle-half spread ($121,644 to $258,785) ranks 41st from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 83rd percentile of the 2,291 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of November 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 38 days, across 132 Gaffney closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 34 days, across 124 Gaffney closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months

Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 204 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Gaffney angle

Width is the headline in Gaffney. The distance from $121,644 to $258,785 is wider than most markets we track, which means the citywide median is carrying a lot of variety on its shoulders. Practically, $189,000 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 $189,000: the ground down to $121,644 and the ground up to $258,785 are about the same. Closings are spread about as far below the median as above it.

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, 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 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 18% of the 204 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $199,900.
