In the three months ending October 15, 2026, the typical Smithville home sold for $296,750, against $312,500 in the same three months last year. Your appraised value and recent sold comps show where the market was yesterday, and in my read a buyer prices your home against the homes for sale now.
Buyers paid 93.2% of original asking over those three months, and the spread by neighborhood runs wide, as in Smithville Townsite.

Last updated October 16, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending October 15, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of October 16, 2026.
The typical Smithville home that sold went for $185 per square foot over the last three months. Nearly every sale was a resale, and the typical resale sold for $299,500.
Only one new build closed, so there is no new-build price to set beside those figures. The chart below shows what a square foot of resale sold for.
The median builder listing asks $344,872 and the median resale listing asks $319,900.
Per square foot, builders ask $214 and resales ask $203, so the two kinds of listing sit close together on asking price.
An asking price is what a seller hopes for, and the sold figures above are what buyers paid. A builder’s number is a reference point for yours. Which builders and communities a buyer is touring is on Which homes is a Smithville buyer comparing with yours, builders or resales?
Across the town’s sales, price per square foot was $197 over the past twelve months and $215 in the twelve months before, so prices are lower.
The median sale price moved with it, $320,000 against $331,500.
If you are anchored to a sale you remember from last year, the twelve-month figures say buyers have moved below it. The timing question is on Has waiting for last year’s price helped Smithville sellers?
The town median hides a wide spread by neighborhood. Over the past twelve months, homes in Smithville Townsite sold for a median $219,500, while homes in M5 Sub sold for a median $318,000.
The two places differ in age as well as price, and a buyer may weigh your house against the neighborhood it sits in before the town as a whole. The closed sales on your own street count for more than any town figure here.
No Smithville price range had 10 sales in the last three months, so I read what buyers paid from the past twelve months. Over that period the $250,000 to $299,999 range closed under 94% of original asking, a buyer’s market for that range.
The $300,000 to $349,999 range closed under 94% too.
So did the $350,000 to $399,999 range.
The $200,000 to $249,999 range closed between 94% and 97%, balanced for that range, from nine sales.
These readings describe each range as a whole, and your own street and condition can shift the result.

How long homes here took to reach a contract
An appraised value is set for tax purposes, and what a buyer pays is agreed in the contract. I make no call on how any appraisal will come out. A buyer’s offer rests on the homes available to choose between now, and a tax value set earlier in the year is not one of them.
