What These Numbers Mean for Benton Buyers and Sellers
Benton is a thin, low-volume market, and the figures in the Housing Market Trends module above should be read with that context in mind. With roughly 1 homes sold in a typical month against 2 active listings and 3.0 months of supply, a handful of transactions can swing the averages, so treat each data point as a directional signal rather than a precise rule. The median sale price sits at $211,000, having moved +29.8% year over year, while homes are averaging 125 days on market before going under contract.
The competitive indicators point toward seller-leaning conditions despite the slower pace. The average sale-to-list ratio of 105.75% means well-positioned homes are closing near or above asking, and 50.0% of homes sold for more than their list price. For a buyer, that combination argues for coming in close to list on properties that are priced correctly, while using the long 125-day median as leverage on listings that have lingered and show pricing fatigue.
For a seller, the data rewards disciplined pricing over ambitious pricing. Because so few homes trade here, an overpriced listing has little comparable activity to correct it quickly, which stretches time on market. Pricing in line with the $114.62 per square foot benchmark positions a home to capture the above-list results the ratio suggests are achievable. With 250 licensed agents operating in and around Benton, the difference between an agent who understands this low-volume dynamic and one who does not is substantial, and that is where objective performance data becomes essential.

What to Look for in a Benton Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines results: a documented track record across real transactions. In Benton, EffectiveAgents has analyzed 10 transactions to rank 17 agents out of the 250 licensed in the area. The top-ranked team, Jesse & Sheila Williams at eXp Realty LLC, has closed 829 transactions and $143.7M in all-time sales volume, a depth of experience that matters in a market where a 105.75% sale-to-list ratio rewards agents who know how to position a price and negotiate toward it. In the 17814 zip code, where median time on market runs 125 days, that negotiation discipline is what separates a listing that sells near asking from one that stalls. An experienced agent also helps buyers read which of the 50.0% above-list outcomes reflect genuine demand versus underpricing. Review patterns are worth weighing alongside transaction counts; the top team carries 123 reviews, and consistent feedback over many closings is a more reliable indicator than a small number of recent ratings.
How We Rank Benton Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Benton market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Benton Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Benton, PA?
The highest-ranked agent in Benton, PA, based on EffectiveAgents data is Jesse & Sheila Williams at eXp Realty LLC, with 829 career transactions, 123 client reviews, and $143.7M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents determines rankings by analyzing verified transaction history, outcomes, and review patterns rather than advertising spend, measuring 17 ranked agents against the 250 licensed locally.

How were these Benton real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Benton?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the Benton area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Benton market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Benton mean for sellers?
Benton's median sale price is $211,000 as of June 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Benton?
In Benton, the median home takes about 125 days to go under contract, though this is a low-volume market where 1 homes sell in a typical month, so individual timelines vary widely. Pricing accuracy is the largest factor: homes listed in line with the $114.62 per square foot benchmark tend to move faster, while overpriced listings linger given the limited pool of comparable sales. Condition, seasonality, and an agent's pricing strategy also shape how quickly a home sells at the 105.75% sale-to-list ratio buyers are currently paying.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Benton realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Benton agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Benton neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Benton realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Benton in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
