Jon's Current Read

Cardinal Pointe is a small, tightly built enclave - 12 homes total, all constructed within a narrow 2003-2005 window, with a median size of 3,550 square feet. That scale is the defining fact of this market: there is rarely more than a listing or two on at any given time, which means pricing here is set home by home rather than by a broad comparable pool. With only one active listing and one closing in the most recent window, there simply isn't enough transaction volume to talk about trend lines with confidence.

The 12 months of supply and buyer-leaning posture reflect that thinness more than any softness in demand - in a community this size, a single listing can swing the supply math dramatically. For a seller, that cuts both ways: less competition to stand out against, but also fewer recent closings to anchor a listing price. For a buyer, it means patience is often required, and when something does list, there's little to compare it against beyond the home itself.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of September 12, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 1 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview

Cardinal Pointe is a small gated enclave of larger homes built in the early-to-mid 2000s, where inventory is scarce enough that any single listing meaningfully shapes the market snapshot.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Best for

  • Buyers looking for a larger home built in the early-to-mid 2000s who don't need to compare several active listings side by side
  • Buyers who value a gated, deed-restricted setting and are willing to confirm current gate-access specifics directly with the HOA
  • Move-up buyers comfortable waiting out limited inventory for the right single listing rather than shopping a wide selection

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want to compare multiple homes within the same community before deciding
  • Buyers on a tight timeline who need active inventory available now
  • Investors expecting frequent turnover or a deep pool of recent comparable sales to underwrite pricing

If we were buying in Cardinal Pointe today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Cardinal Pointe.

Best Buy
Buyers seeking a larger, early-2000s-built home inside a small gated community with limited turnover.
Biggest Risk
With only 12 homes and minimal recent closings, pricing data is thin and each transaction carries outsized weight.
Sweet Spot
Buyers who want size - a 3,550 sq ft median - and are comfortable waiting for the right listing rather than choosing from several at once.
Avoid If
Skip this community if you need multiple options to compare or a fast timeline, since inventory here is rarely more than a listing or two.

A Small Footprint, Priced Home by Home

With just 12 homes in the community, Cardinal Pointe doesn't behave like a typical subdivision market. Construction was concentrated in a tight 2003-2005 span, so the homes share a similar age and a median living area of 3,550 square feet - this is a community of larger-footprint houses, not starter product. Roughly two-thirds of homes here carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a base of owner-occupied residences rather than heavy investor or short-term turnover.

The MLS amenities data lists deed restrictions and references to a gated entry, though the feed shows some inconsistency between guarded and non-guarded gate descriptions - worth confirming directly with the HOA before assuming which access model currently applies. Because inventory is this limited, condition and updates on the one or two homes that do list will do most of the work in setting price; there isn't a deep pool of recent closings to lean on for comparables.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cardinal Pointe. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

In a market this thin, pricing a home well or evaluating an offer requires more than pulling standard comps - with only one closing in the recent window, we look at the full 2003-2005 build history, size and condition of every home in the community, and current HOA specifics to build a realistic picture rather than relying on a shallow data set.
