Colonial Pines carries a median price of $325,000 on a median price per square foot of $185.71 — a number that covers a wide spread of product. Homes here were built anywhere from 1900 through 2018, with a median year built of 1987, so pricing on any single listing depends heavily on condition and vintage rather than a uniform build standard. At a median 2,382 square feet, the typical home carries real space, which helps keep per-square-foot pricing in check even with that age spread.
Right now there are zero active listings in Colonial Pines, and the median days on market across recent closings runs 188 — a market that moves in long cycles, not quick turns. Homestead exemptions cover 82.5% of the 121 homes here, and 59% of current owners purchased since 2012, pointing to a base of long-term ownership rather than a community cycling through frequent resales. For a seller, that combination means patience and accurate pricing matter more than urgency. For a buyer, it means that when something does list, there is little else on the market to compare it against.
The 60-Second Overview
Colonial Pines market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $325K ($186 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 188 days on market for closed sales.

Who Colonial Pines is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want more square footage per dollar and are comfortable evaluating homes across a wide range of build years
- Buyers or owners planning to stay long-term, given a homestead share of 82.5% among current owners
- Sellers who can price patiently and accurately, given a median 188 days on market and no active competing listings right now
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a turnkey home from a single, consistent building era
- Anyone counting on shared community amenities as part of the purchase, since none are identified in current MLS listings
- Sellers who need a fast, predictable close — recent median time on market runs 188 days

The Colonial Pines buying strategy.
If we were buying in Colonial Pines 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 Colonial Pines.
A Community Built in Layers
With 121 homes spanning construction from 1900 to 2018 and a median year built of 1987, Colonial Pines does not fit a single architectural or systems-age profile. That range is the main reason the median price per square foot of $185.71 has to be read as an average across very different homes — an early build in original condition and a home from the later end of that range will not compete on the same terms.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so the appeal here reads as the homes and lots themselves rather than a shared amenity package. With zero active listings at the moment and a median 188 days on market on recent closings, inventory is thin and sales tend to take time — a profile reinforced by a homestead share of 82.5% among current owners.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Colonial Pines. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (5.4). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +59% since 2012; Owner Commitment 82% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 88.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A community spanning construction from 1900 to 2018 with zero active listings and no documented amenity package is not one where a generic pricing tool gets the number right — the median price per square foot of $185.71 is an average across very different homes, and pulling the right comparison requires knowing which end of that build range a given property sits on. With median days on market running 188 and current active inventory at zero, Momentum can help sellers price for the actual buyer pool and help buyers move quickly and accurately when something does come to market.
