This page tracks what homes in Golden Heights actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 15 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.

What homes sold for in Golden Heights

$320,000Median sale price
$219Median per square foot
15 daysMedian days to contract
15Homes sold in 12 months

Sale prices ran from $219,732 to $495,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home sizeSalesMedian priceMedian $/sq ftMedian days
Under 2,000 sq ft13$306,750$22115 days

Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

Homes priced right sold far faster

Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.

Never reduced 10 sales, closed at 100% of asking10 days
Reduced at least once 5 sales, closed at 96.2% of the reduced price133 days

Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 10 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 133 days and still closed at 96.2% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $21,000. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.

Seller concessions

40%Of sales included a seller credit
$7,500Typical credit when there was one
6 of 15Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

Conventional 8 sales53%
Cash 4 sales27%
VA 2 sales13%
FHA 1 sales7%

Cash was 27% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
