Manchester, TN Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Manchester, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Manchester 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: 231
  • •Median sold price, last 12 months: $280,000
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $186
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $220,000 and $336,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 231 closed sales in Manchester over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $280,000. 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 $220,000 and $336,000. 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. 93% of the Manchester 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 229 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $147 and $213 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Manchester 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 $220,000 and $336,000. Among the 70 Tennessee markets with a published band, Manchester's middle-half spread ($220,000 to $336,000) ranks 15th 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 28th 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 32 days, across 82 Manchester closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 24 days, across 71 Manchester 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 231 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Manchester angle

The stretch from $220,000 to $336,000 is shorter than in most markets we track, so the middle of the market is compact, and 231 closings mean matched comps are findable without reaching far. The thing to watch is which side of the midpoint your evidence comes from. The band is close to even around $280,000: the ground down to $220,000 and the ground up to $336,000 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 Manchester 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 Manchester over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Manchester 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 231 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $296,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median home price in Manchester?

The median sold price in Manchester over the last 12 months is $280,000, measured across 231 closings Resideline tracked.

How many homes sold in Manchester last month?

Resideline has tracked 9 closed sales in Manchester in October 2026 so far, out of 231 closings tracked over the last 12 months. The most recent month keeps filling in for several weeks as closings are recorded, so this count will rise. These are tracked samples of market activity, not official county totals.

What is the typical sale price range in Manchester?

The middle half of Manchester sales over the last 12 months closed between $220,000 and $336,000, with a median of $280,000.

What is the typical price per square foot in Manchester?

Among qualifying Manchester closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $186, measured across 229 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

How close should comparable sales come to each other in a narrow market?

Closer than they would elsewhere. When $220,000 and $336,000 sit near each other, matched comps normally converge, so a wide disagreement inside your set is a signal rather than noise. The two halves of the middle band are of similar width. Usually the explanation is condition, size or property type rather than timing.
