Benjamin Crossing's 30 recorded sales span $135,500 despite build years running only from 2003 to 2008. The homes differ substantially in size, so the age range alone does not make them interchangeable comparisons.
Benjamin Crossing's sale figures
From October 2024 through October 2026, 30 homes in Benjamin Crossing closed at a median of $251,500, with the lowest at $192,000 and the highest at $327,500. The typical house was 1,996 square feet.
The sales span houses built from 2003 to 2008, none of the 30 was new construction, and none was a condo or townhome. The map's snapshot shows five homes for sale, asking from $219,900 to $305,000.

Size is doing the work here
The ten most recent recorded sales range from 1,347 to 3,258 square feet, within a five-year build window. Select comparisons with similar floor area, then examine condition and the other property details before using the neighborhood median.
The useful version of a comparable sale in a neighborhood like this is not the nearest house. It is the nearest house of roughly the same size. With 30 sales recorded there are usually enough of those to work with, which many neighborhoods on this map do not have.
What the ten most recent sales show
Those ten span late October 2025 through mid September 2026 and ran from $215,000 to $306,000. Six of the ten closed between May and September 2026. Ten of 30 is what the map holds, so it describes those ten and is not a trend line.
It is worth noting that the top of those ten, $306,000, is still below the $327,500 high of the full two year record, so the largest sales in this neighborhood are not in the recent window the map shows.
What the five homes for sale are asking
The snapshot shows five: $219,900, $244,900, $274,900, $299,900 and $305,000. Three are asking above the two year median of $251,500 and two are below it. By size they are 1,530, 2,153, 2,343, 2,354 and 3,035 square feet, listed as three, four, five, three and four bedroom.
Four of the five are larger than 2,100 square feet, and the smallest of the five is the least expensive.
So the current offering is weighted toward the larger end of this neighborhood. An owner of a house near the small end of the size range is not really looking at their own competition in that list, and an owner of a larger house is looking at four of it. That is a more useful read than comparing an asking price to the median.
Asking is not selling, and the sold column is the one that has been tested.
For the owner thinking about selling
In a neighborhood this uniform in age, two houses the same size are separated by condition, by what has been updated in twenty years, and by how the plan actually works. Houses built in this window often share a layout that made sense for a family in 2005 and makes less sense for the same household in 2026, and that is frequently fixable without moving. Whether it is worth fixing before a sale, or at all, is the conversation worth having before a price is set.
What the map does not tell you
The map does not record how many floors a house has, where the primary bedroom sits, what has been updated, what a lot backs to, or what an association covers. Neither does this note. If one of those is the reason you are moving, or the reason a buyer will pay more for your house than for the one down the street, that gets checked house by house, from the listing and the plan, before we tour.
What your house would bring, which sales an appraiser would accept, and what a specific improvement would return are not answered by one neighborhood on a map. Valuation of a specific property is its own work, and a lender's appraisal belongs to the appraiser.
The Lafayette neighborhood map carries every neighborhood and column behind this note, how to read that map explains the columns, the Lafayette page covers the town, and stay, change or move is where the layout question goes.

Neighborhoods need at least five sales to be ranked. The homes for sale and their asking prices are the map's own snapshot. No individual sale addresses are used.
This note is general. It is not an appraisal, and an asking price is not a sale.
