Price here is driven by condition and lot far more than by any single spec. With a housing stock that spans from 1922 to 2024 and a median build year of 1959, you are looking at a genuine mix — original bungalows, mid-century cottages, and newer infill on the same streets. The median sits at $323,000 at about $260 per square foot on a compact median of 1,315 living square feet, which tells you the dollars are following renovated condition and land value, not size.
Posture right now favors sellers who have done the work. A median 27 days on market is a brisk pace, and the year-over-year median is up 34.6% — a large move that reflects a small, fast-turning sample (four closings in the window), so read it as directional, not a promise. Buyers should underwrite each house on its own merits and not the headline gain; sellers with a clean, updated home have leverage, while those bringing deferred maintenance will meet a more disciplined buyer.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.4 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 7 closed sales in 12 months).
🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($314K) is up 29.5% from the prior 12 months ($242K). With about 4 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

Who Castle Heights is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting the mid-$300s who value an older-core location and are ready to inspect thoroughly
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to trade modest square footage for character and lot value
- Investors weighing a fast-turning market where non-primary-residence stock is common
Probably not for
- Buyers who need substantial living space beyond a roughly 1,300-square-foot footprint
- Anyone wanting a new, single-vintage subdivision with uniform finishes
- Buyers who want a hands-off, no-inspection-surprises purchase and cannot budget for older-home systems

The Castle Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Castle Heights 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 Castle Heights.
A condition-driven older core
The defining feature is age spread. A median year built of 1959 inside a 1922-to-2024 range means you will tour a fully reimagined 1920s house one afternoon and a from-studs new build the next. That variety is why the per-square-foot number and the median price only tell part of the story — square footage runs modest at a 1,315 median, so what you pay for is really the level of updating and the quality of the lot.
The homestead share sits at about 47%, meaning a meaningful portion of the housing stock is not owner-occupied as a primary residence — worth knowing whether you plan to live here long term or are weighing the block as an investment. Either way, plan to inspect carefully: in stock this old, systems, roofs, and prior permit history matter more to your final cost than the sticker.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Castle Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
