Big Bend by the numbers

What Big Bend homes actually sold for

Every Big Bend sale on the MLS® from November 9, 2025 to November 9, 2026, closed or firm and waiting to complete. That's 6 homes. The figures are medians, the middle sale, so one big outlier can't skew them.

Too few sales for a fair median: detached houses (2), townhouses (2), half duplexes (2). Josh can pull the individual sales for you.

The longer view: from November 9, 2023 to November 9, 2026, 28 homes sold here, including 9 detached houses at a median of $1,550,000; 15 townhouses at a median of $1,200,000. Prices moved over those three years, so treat this as context, not today's value.
