Zillow's average home value is $410,904 (+1.2% YoY); Redfin's median sale price over the three months ending May 2026 was $424,000, up a much sharper 16.1% YoY -- a real, disclosed spread in magnitude, but both point the same direction.
Homes are moving faster than a year ago
Homes sold in 49 days on average as of the most recent data, down from 52 days a year earlier -- a real, if modest, acceleration in market pace.
A university-town price premium worth weighing
Clemson's price point runs above several other Upstate SC markets in this same six-city batch -- a real premium tied to the university's presence, Lake Hartwell proximity, and a genuinely constrained small-city housing supply. Buyers prioritizing affordability specifically should compare directly against Seneca, Easley, or the Greenville-metro suburbs in this batch.
Key takeaways
- Median sale price was $424,000 over the three months ending May 2026 (Redfin), up 16.1% YoY -- a real, appreciating market.
- Zillow's separate average home value ($410,904, +1.2% YoY) confirms the same appreciating direction at a different magnitude.
- Homes sold in 49 days on average, down from 52 a year earlier -- a modestly faster-moving market.
- Clemson's price point runs above several other markets in this six-city Upstate SC batch -- factor that premium in before assuming small-town affordability.
