What $300K Gets You in Aiken, SC Right Now?

Unlike many other cities in the Southeast, $300K can still get you a solid, comfortable lifestyle here in Aiken, SC. For most buyers—especially families moving to the area—this price point is right in the sweet spot.

As of March 2025, the median sold price in Aiken County is $269,900. That means half the homes sold were under that price, and half were above. It’s a powerful benchmark—$300K puts you above the median, giving you access to better locations, newer construction, or more upgrades compared to the average buyer in today’s market.

So what exactly can you get for that price right now? Let’s take a look at three standout listings, each offering 3 to 4 bedrooms, great layouts, and features families moving to Aiken are usually looking for.

Bonus: With the use of Homeowners Mortgage and closing by April 2025, this home qualifies for a 4.39% fixed rate or $15,000 in “Mad Money” that can go toward upgrades, options, or closing costs. That’s real value in today’s market.
