Are you trying to read the Mauldin market and time your move just right? You are not alone. Prices, inventory, and interest rates have all shifted, which can make decisions feel complicated. In this guide, you will see current Mauldin numbers, why they differ by source, and what they mean for your plan as a buyer or seller. Let’s dive in.
Mauldin housing at a glance (early 2026)
- Redfin, Jan 2026 median sold price: $312,000, with 33 homes sold and a median of 101 days on market for sold properties (Redfin Mauldin market).
- Realtor.com Mauldin snapshot: median list price about $355,000 and median 49 days on market for active listings (Realtor.com Mauldin overview).
- Zillow ZHVI (typical home value, through Dec 2025): $290,083. Zillow’s rental index shows average asking rent near $1,296 in Dec 2025 (Zillow Mauldin values).
Why numbers differ
Different providers track different things. Redfin’s sold median reflects closed sales in a given month. Realtor.com’s median list price reflects asking prices for active listings. Zillow’s ZHVI is an index-based estimate of typical value. Each uses slightly different geography and time windows. Always pair each number with the provider and date.
Inventory and recent momentum
- Active listings have grown versus last year. Realtor.com’s Mauldin snapshot shows for-sale counts up about 20% year over year, similar to Greenville County’s trend (Realtor.com Mauldin overview).
- Buyers are still transacting. Redfin reports 33 sales in Jan 2026 compared with 28 in Jan 2025, a sign that demand remains present even as prices adjust (Redfin Mauldin market).
What this means: You have more choice and a bit more time to decide than in 2020–2021. Multiple-offer bidding is less common across all price bands, but well-priced homes in good condition still move quickly.
Price brackets and what sells in Mauldin
- Bedroom-based city averages from a local Upstate report: 2-bed ~ $235k, 3-bed ~ $297k, 4-bed ~ $352k, 5-bed ~ $497k (UpstateSC market snapshot). Use these as ballpark ranges, then confirm neighborhood comps in the MLS.
- Price per square foot often lands in the mid-$160s to mid-$170s in recent snapshots, which is a quick cross-check for value when you compare homes.
- New construction tends to sit near the higher end. One local snapshot put new-build averages near $338k (UpstateSC market snapshot). If you compare resale and new build, factor in incentives and timelines.
- Features that help listings stand out: Redfin’s local trend analysis points to buyer interest in porches or decks, larger kitchens, and community amenities like clubhouses, ponds, or pickleball courts (Redfin Mauldin trends).
Speed, competition, and negotiating leverage
- Selling speed varies by metric. Redfin shows ~101 days for sold listings in Jan 2026, while Realtor.com shows ~49 days for current active listings in its snapshot (Redfin Mauldin market; Realtor.com Mauldin overview).
- Pricing accuracy matters. Realtor.com’s Mauldin page cites a sale-to-list ratio near ~99%, which suggests well-priced homes are still selling close to asking (Realtor.com Mauldin overview).
Practical takeaway: Buyers may have a bit more leverage on contingencies and repairs than a few years ago. Sellers who price to fresh comps and present well often achieve near-list outcomes.

What this means if you are buying in 2026
- Get pre-approved early and shop with MLS-backed comps. Mauldin medians vary by source, so rely on 30–90 day neighborhood solds to shape offers.
- If your target price is under about $320k, expect more selection, but be ready to move on well-kept homes. Use recent DOM by price band, not just city averages.
- Watch mortgage rates. Freddie Mac’s weekly survey shows the 30-year fixed averaging about 6.09% to 6.11% in early Feb 2026 (Freddie Mac PMMS). Slight rate shifts can change your monthly budget.
- Sample payment at the current benchmark rate: At a $312,000 purchase price and 10% down, principal and interest at about 6.1% is roughly $1,700 per month. With 20% down, it is about $1,510 per month. Taxes, insurance, HOA, and mortgage insurance are additional.
- Focus your search criteria. Prioritize the features local buyers value, like outdoor living spaces, larger kitchens, and community amenities, to preserve resale strength.
What this means if you are selling in 2026
- Price to the most recent MLS comps and be clear about the data source and date in your strategy conversation. That aligns expectations and speeds decision-making.
- Aim for near-list outcomes with accurate pricing and strong presentation. Realtor.com’s Mauldin snapshot shows a sale-to-list ratio near ~99% (Realtor.com Mauldin overview).
- Lean into high-ROI prep: fresh landscaping, minor kitchen updates, paint, and a strong photo and video package. Highlight porches, decks, kitchen scale, and neighborhood amenities in your marketing copy.
- Time your launch carefully. Spring often brings more traffic. If inventory is already up in your price band, standout pricing and marketing matter even more.
