The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 232
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $359,945

- •Middle half of sales closed between: $334,900 and $440,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 232 closed sales in Gardner over the last six months, with a median closing price of $359,945. 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 $334,900 and $440,000. 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. 95% of the Gardner 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 232 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $177 and $233 per square foot.

Among the 12 Kansas markets with a published band, Gardner's middle-half spread ($334,900 to $440,000) ranks 1st from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

The Gardner angle
Gardner's closings concentrate hard: over the last six months we tracked 232 of them, with a median closed sale price of $359,945 and the middle half of sales packed between $334,900 and $440,000, a spread among the tightest we track. Even in a compact market the shape matters, and here the distance from the median up to the upper quartile is greater than the distance down to the lower quartile, so what variation exists lives mostly above the midpoint. A typical Gardner subject can lean on $359,945 as a credible starting anchor. An above-average one should be priced from comps in the upper part of the band, where sales are more spread out and a citywide figure helps least.
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, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Kansas: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Kansas homes, and most Kansas estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Kansas one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Gardner address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

What is the typical price per square foot in Gardner?

Does a tight band like Gardner's mean my valuation can be quick?
Quicker to start, not quicker to finish. Because half of tracked closings fell between $334,900 and $440,000, one of the tighter stretches we track, $359,945 is a stronger opening anchor than most citywide medians. But the band above the median is the longer side, so if your home is better than a typical local sale, the difference is worth real money and needs closed-sale evidence to capture it.
