Over the recorded series, Bayview Acres’s median sold price moved from $327,000 (2014) to $668,750 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +105% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $327,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Bayview Acres’s median moved +108% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2022 peak of $999,900, the current median stands at -33%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 16 closings a year (10-yr average 11). Small-community medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure in the table above.
What actually trades here: 100% singlefamilyresidence, with a median of 1,804 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $419 in the current window. Price-per-square-foot is the cleaner yardstick when comparing your home to the medians — it corrects for the size mix in any given year.
Momentum’s market-heat index for Bayview Acres reads 22/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 70% of recorded Bayview Acres sales in the window ending 2026-07 (7 of 10) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. For buyers, the same table reads the other way: the sold medians above are what the market has actually been paying — an asking price meaningfully above the recent closed record, in a community absorbing at the rates shown, is an opening position, not a value.
The pattern in the statewide failure data applies here too: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell; homes priced against hope join the 201,552 that didn’t. The table above is the closed-sale record to price against.
