RIVER HAVEN (BRADENTON, FL): 8 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, an 8-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 89.0% of original asking; the median sale took 66 days (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |

Over the recorded series, RIVER HAVEN’s median sold price moved from $66,500 (2012) to $405,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +509% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $66,500. Against the 2025 peak of $449,500, the current median stands at -10%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 11 closings a year (10-yr average 4.6). With roughly 4.6 closings a year, RIVER HAVEN’s 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 above.
What actually trades here: 99% single-family residence, 1% ?, with a median of 1,417 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $340 in the current window.
Of the 20 recorded RIVER HAVEN closings since 2024, half landed between $362,500 and $531,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $195,000 and the highest $765,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $250,000 | 2 (10%) | |
| $250,000 – $366,667 | 3 (15%) | |
| $366,667 – $483,333 | 8 (40%) | |
| $483,333 – $600,000 | 3 (15%) | |
| None and up | 4 (20%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($364 vs $226) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,021–1,294 sq ft | $364 | $401,250 | $260,000 – $603,500 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 1,398–1,600 sq ft | $310 | $437,500 | $325,000 – $600,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 1,736–2,410 sq ft | $226 | $407,000 | $195,000 – $765,000 | 8 |
At RIVER HAVEN’s $405,000 median and Manatee County’s adopted 17.29 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,000 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,300 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Manatee County tax page.
Since 2004, 133 RIVER HAVEN listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 53% of RIVER HAVEN listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 0%. Momentum’s market-heat index for RIVER HAVEN reads 44/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 14% of recorded RIVER HAVEN sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 7) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a RIVER HAVEN home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
