What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 548 closed sales in Morgantown over the last six months, with a median closing price of $307,750. 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. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.
Median home price in Morgantown, WV (August 2026)
The median home price in Morgantown is $307,750, measured across the 548 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.
The Morgantown angle
Morgantown's economy centers on West Virginia University and its associated hospital system, which shapes both the owner occupied and rental sides of the housing market. Our data tracked 548 closings there over six months at a median closing price of $307,750, an average of about 91 a month. Twenty percent down at that midpoint is $61,550. Student oriented rental property near campus operates on very different economics from family housing in the outlying neighborhoods and in nearby Cheat Lake, and the citywide median blends both. Steep terrain in and around the city also limits buildable land, concentrating development along a few corridors.
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. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Morgantown address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
