Temple, TX Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For
What homes actually sell for in Temple: a median closing price of $269,994 across 830 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the full price spread and a ZIP-level breakdown.
Temple closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last six months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.
The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 830
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $269,994
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $156
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $225,000 and $330,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 830 closed sales in Temple over the last six months, with a median closing price of $269,994. 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 $225,000 and $330,000. 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 Temple 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 830 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $137 and $173 per square foot.

The Temple angle
Temple returns one of the tighter spreads we track. Resideline tracked 830 closings over the last six months; the median closed sale price was $269,994, and the middle half of them closed between $225,000 and $330,000. A tight band means the median predicts well for a typical property, and the work moves from establishing the market to establishing typicality. There is more distance between the median and the upper quartile than between the median and the lower one, so the stretch in the ordinary Temple range is on the upper side. Comp depth is close to typical, enough to support a properly matched set if you choose your filters deliberately rather than piling them on.

From market read to offer price
A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. 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. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Temple address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
