What Your Budget Buys in Clayton Right Now

Clayton runs from $389,000 to $11,500,000 across 144 active listings, and where you land in that range decides the kind of home you get. The median sits at $815,000. Under $500K, you are shopping condos, where the median is $464,900. Move into the $750K to $1M band and townhouses dominate, with a median of $778,000 and 62 of them on the market right now. Detached houses carry a median of $1,384,900, so a bigger budget buys land and space. Condos, townhouses, detached. Three tiers, three different lives. The typical home here was built in 2010 and covers 1,653 square feet, which gives you a fair baseline before you start comparing what your number actually gets you.

The $750K to $1M band holds the most choice, with 44 listings, more than any other price range in Clayton. Below it, the $500K to $750K band carries 30 homes, where two-bedroom layouts run a median of $647,450. Step down again to under $500K and you have 18 listings, mostly one-bedroom homes at a median of $419,344. Push above $1M and the count thins fast. The $1M to $1. 5M band has 35 homes, and four-bedroom properties sit at a median of $899,000 while five-bedroom homes jump to $1,299,900. Beyond $1. 5M, options shrink. Only 5 listings fall between $1. 5M and $2. 5M, and 12 sit over $2. 5M. So every $250,000 you add changes the bedroom count you can reach. Three bedrooms carry a median of $778,000 across 37 listings, the largest group by bedroom count. Six-bedroom homes median $1,448,888. The math is simple. More budget, more rooms, fewer homes to pick from.

Pull the 45 listings that came onto the market in the last 30 days and start there. New inventory moves first, and Clayton added that many in a single month. If a strata home fits your band, budget the median fee of $365 a month on top of your price, because that changes what you can actually carry. Want to see how buildings compare? Salton, Sunset Grove, Compass, Waterstone, and Calera each have four active units, so you can walk more than one floorplan in the same complex. Book showings across two price bands, not one. Seeing the $647,450 two-bedroom next to the $778,000 three-bedroom tells you fast whether the extra room is worth the reach.
