Redfin's city-level median sale price is $273,000, down 3.2% year-over-year (3 months ending June 2026), with a median $152/sq ft (down 2.9% YoY). Redfin's own county-level figure for January 2026 was $290,000, down 4.9% YoY. Zillow's county-level typical home value, by contrast, was $254,905, UP 6.1% year-over-year -- a real, disclosed directional disagreement even within sources describing the same county.
A real, if modest, cooling in buyer urgency
Anderson homes sold after an average 58 days on market, up from 51 days the prior year -- a real, if modest, signal of cooling buyer urgency, consistent with the softer Redfin pricing direction. Anderson's median sale price runs 25% below the national average per Redfin's own citation.
A real, growing role for Lake Hartwell-driven demand
Century21 Blackwell's own retirement-focused coverage notes Anderson has 'appreciated steadily due to retiree demand' even while remaining more affordable per square foot than Greenville or parts of Spartanburg -- a real, disclosed demand driver distinct from the manufacturing-supply-chain demand seen in this build's Spartanburg and Greer records.
