Market Heat
Autumn Lake's numbers this cycle come from a thin slice of the market — just three closings in the window — so the 24.4% year-over-year move should be read as a signal of direction, not a precise measure of appreciation. With that caveat, a median price of $510,000 and price per square foot around $284.6 point to a market where recent sales skewed toward higher-value or better-condition homes rather than a broad repricing of the whole community.
A median days-on-market of 37 and a heat score of 46 describe a market that is not moving fast in either direction — homes are getting real showing time and negotiation before contract, and sellers should not expect the kind of quick, multiple-offer turnaround that a higher heat score would suggest. For buyers, that means room to evaluate a property on its own terms rather than compete on speed.

Who Autumn Lake is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable making a decision from a small comparable set and verifying value home-by-home
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the current median price who have flexibility on timeline
- Sellers with a well-maintained home who can price to condition rather than lean on a thin market average

- Buyers prioritizing confirmed on-site community amenities as a deciding factor
- Sellers expecting a fast, high-competition sale in a market currently posting a moderate heat score
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 29 of each year, from record-level fgc closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($510K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($410K) IS the +24.4% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 8 sales each (3 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings.

The Autumn Lake buying strategy.
If we were buying in Autumn Lake today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Autumn Lake.
Reading a thin data set
With only three closings feeding the current snapshot, Autumn Lake's pricing is more sensitive to the specific condition and finish level of whichever homes happened to trade than a larger community would be. The $510,000 median and $284.6 per-square-foot figure are real, but they represent a narrow sample — a buyer comparing a listing to that median should look closely at condition, lot, and updates rather than assume the number reflects the whole community evenly.
The 37-day median days-on-market and a heat score of 46 together describe a market with a normal, unhurried pace. That combination is workable for both sides: sellers who price realistically for their home's actual condition can expect a reasonable window to find the right buyer, and buyers can take the time to inspect, negotiate, and confirm value before committing. Current MLS data does not identify community amenities here, so buyers weighing lifestyle features should confirm directly what, if anything, is included with the home or association.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Autumn Lake. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community where the recent sales sample is small, the read on value depends heavily on knowing which specific homes closed and why. We track those individual comparables, not just the headline median, so pricing conversations here are grounded in the actual condition and terms behind each sale rather than an average that may not fit the home in front of you.
