Momentum Scores

Momentum Property Score

59/100
Strongest on: Flood safety (95), Insurance cost (62)

A rules-based composite of the objective indicators below — each computed from listing facts, public records, and recent nearby sales, not opinion.

How to read it: a higher score means more of these objective measures line up in a buyer’s favor — for example, priced competitively against recent nearby sales, lower carrying costs, or lower flood risk. A lower score means fewer do. It reflects only the indicators below — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability, and nothing about who should live there.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate: $615,231 – $781,893

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$615,231the mess$781,893

Actual list price: $699,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen, new roof, or older interior finishes can swing value six figures. Sq ft can't see it.
  • The lot — a premium waterfront, conservation, or cul-de-sac lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
  • Outliers skew it — one flip or one distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
  • Layout & beds/baths — two homes at 2,000 sq ft with 3/2 vs. 4/3 don't sell for the same number.
  • Views & orientation — golf, water, or preserve views aren't in the square footage.
  • Upgrades & systems — solar, pool, impact windows, new HVAC: real money, invisible to a calculator.
  • Unpermitted or mismeasured sq ft — public records are often wrong, and unpermitted additions don't count.
  • Carrying costs — CDD bonds, HOA dues, and flood-zone insurance change what a buyer will actually pay.
  • Timing & concessions — the market moves monthly, and seller-paid rate buydowns hide the true price.
  • School zoning & micro-location — one street over can mean a different school, and a different price.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • This home: 1 days on market vs. a ~55-day neighborhood median
  • 4025 active listings competing in HERITAGE BAY
  • 1342 under contract now
  • 25% of for-sale inventory is currently under contract (under contract + pending, as a share of all for-sale inventory)
  • 827 new-construction homes competing

For reference, this home is listed at $699,000 ($394/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Frequently asked questions

Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?

Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Where does the flood-zone information come from?

The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
