Richfield Real Estate Market Update: Home Prices, Sales Trends, and Top Attractions
The Richfield real estate market is moving fast, with homes selling quickly and prices holding strong. Whether you're a homeowner thinking about selling or a buyer looking for the perfect home, understanding the latest market trends can help you make the best decision. But Richfield isn’t just about numbers—it’s also a vibrant community with parks, shopping, and family-friendly attractions that make it a great place to call home.
Over the past 12 months, 231 homes have sold in Richfield, including 198 single-family homes and 33 townhouses or condos. Single-family homes continue to be in high demand, selling quickly, while townhouses and condos are taking slightly longer to move. Single-family homes remain the most sought-after property type. The median list price was $350,000, with a median sale price of $360,000. These homes typically sold in just 12 days, showing strong buyer demand. Most properties featured three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a median foundation size of 1,050 square feet and a total finished square footage of 1,750. The median price per square foot was $210, reflecting a steady increase in home values.
For those looking for a more affordable option, townhouses and condos remain a solid choice. The median list price was $275,000, with a median sale price of $270,000. These homes had a median of two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a foundation size of 980 square feet and a total finished square footage of 1,190.

For buyers, competition remains strong, especially for single-family homes, which often sell quickly and above asking price. If you're looking to buy, being pre-approved and ready to act fast will give you a competitive edge. Townhouses and condos offer a more budget-friendly alternative and allow for a longer decision-making process. For sellers, the market remains in your favor, particularly if you’re selling a single-family home. Pricing your home correctly and ensuring it’s in move-in-ready condition will help attract buyers and secure a strong sale price. While condos and townhouses take longer to sell, well-maintained properties in desirable locations still see steady interest.
