Daybreak Woods carries a median price of $295,000 at a median $166.49 per square foot, against a typical home near 2,144 square feet. Homes here were built between 2002 and 2019, with a median year built of 2004, so this is an established, built-out community rather than new construction — condition and updates on an individual home drive value more than lot or floor plan differences.
The current posture is balanced: four months of supply against just four active listings out of 309 homes in the community, which is thin inventory but not the scramble a tight seller's market implies. Homes are taking just over 52 days to close, and price is down 13.9% year over year even with the community still up 168% since 2012. Read that as a market digesting a long run-up rather than reversing it. Sellers should price to today's comparable set, not the market's high point; buyers should expect fewer active listings to compare and plan to move decisively on the right one.
Daybreak Woods right now
🟡 Balanced market. 3.0 months of supply and 20% 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 realMLS records, as of September 13, 2026. Confidence: High (5 active and pending listings, 16 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($295K) is down 13.9% from the prior 12 months ($343K) and up 144% since 2012. With about a dozen 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 realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 13.

Who Daybreak Woods is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a resale home near the $295,000 median who want an established, built-out community rather than new construction.
- Owner-occupant buyers comfortable with a 52-plus day closing timeline in a market currently carrying about four months of supply.
- Buyers who want a straightforward set of shared amenities (playground, basketball court, park) without extensive HOA facilities to budget for.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need new-construction finishes — nothing in Daybreak Woods was built after 2019.
- Buyers expecting a wide field of active listings to shop before committing, given only four are on the market.
- Buyers counting on continued rapid appreciation — the past year's 13.9% pullback shows price can move down as well as up.

The Daybreak Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Daybreak Woods 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 Daybreak Woods.
What actually moves a Daybreak Woods price
Reported community amenities across this community's MLS listings include a playground, a basketball court, and a park, with off-site HOA management — verify current amenities and access directly with the HOA before relying on them. With homes built between 2002 and 2019 and a median year built of 2004, the housing stock spans roughly two decades of construction standards, which is part of why per-square-foot pricing ($166.49 median) varies more here than in a single-phase, same-era subdivision.
Supply is the other half of the story: four months of supply and only four active listings against 309 total homes means the sample of what's actually for sale at any moment is small. That makes the 52.5-day median time to close and the 13.9% year-over-year pullback more sensitive to whichever handful of homes closed in the last 12 months than they would be in a higher-volume market — worth keeping in mind when comparing this snapshot to a single listing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Daybreak Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
