This page tracks what homes in Martins Grove actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 7 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.
Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.

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.

Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 10 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 74 days and still closed at 97.7% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $18,950. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
57%Of sales included a seller credit
$4,250Typical credit when there was one
4 of 7Sales 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
FHA 4 sales57%
Conventional 3 sales43%
Cash was 0% 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.
