Zillow's typical home value for Lexington was cited at $303,292 (up 2.1% YoY), Redfin's median sale price at $368,000 (up 10.7% YoY, $169/sqft, homes averaging 34 days on market), RealtyTrac's median estimated value at $311,506, and Lexington County's own median listing price (FRED, July 2026) at $327,950. Every source, despite disagreeing on the precise figure, confirms Lexington as the most expensive of the four SC markets built in this wave.
Lexington's fast growth as a real, structural demand driver
Lexington shows the strongest, most consistent population growth among these four SC markets (+10.27% since the 2020 Census), a real, structural driver of sustained housing demand -- distinct from Sumter's modest city-level population decline documented elsewhere in this dataset.
Lake Murray proximity as a real, distinctive value driver
Properties closer to Lake Murray's Lexington-side shoreline and amenities (the public swim beach, marinas like Jake's Landing) likely command a real, if not independently quantified in this research pass, premium relative to properties farther from the lake -- a genuinely distinctive value driver not shared by the other three SC markets in this wave.
