The 64-day median time on market puts Cedar Cay squarely in balanced territory. Sellers aren't chasing offers down, and buyers aren't writing over ask in multiples. You'll negotiate on condition, on timing, on the usual levers—but you won't be in a bidding war, and you won't see prices crater if you wait a month.

Nine closings in the measurement window is a thin sample. It means inventory here is not continuous; when a unit comes to market, it may be the only one available for weeks. If you're set on Cedar Cay specifically, understand that choice will be limited and your search horizon needs flexibility. The $400K median is real, but individual units will vary widely depending on updates, floor plan, and how long the prior owner held.

The appreciation story since 2012 is long and includes multiple market cycles. It tells you the community has participated in the broader Boca run-up, but the current 2.6% year-over-year figure is the number that matters for underwriting today. This is not a momentum play; it's a location play in a stable submarket where price is set by condition and the buyer's tolerance for deferred maintenance.

In a thin-inventory community like Cedar Cay, you need an agent who monitors off-market conversations and knows when a seller is six weeks from listing. We track every comparable in the immediate area, we know what the last three closings actually looked like inside, and we'll tell you when a unit is overpriced for its condition before you waste time on a tour. When inventory is episodic, speed and information quality are the only edges that matter—and we deliver both.
