Deer Island Golf Club

The defining number here is the spread in age: 1955 to 2024. That nearly seven-decade window means the housing stock is genuinely mixed, and the median build year of 2006 tells you the middle of the market skews toward more recent construction while older homes remain in play. When condition varies this much across a community, the median price is a starting point, not a valuation — the real work is matching a specific home's updates against what you are paying.

Roughly 75.5% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, which signals a high share of primary-residence ownership and typically translates to slower, more deliberate turnover. Combined with just 189 homes total, inventory can be genuinely scarce; when the property you want appears, hesitation is the main risk.

In a 189-home community with thin recent closing activity, generic pricing tools fall down fast. We underwrite each home on its own condition and vintage against the comps that actually apply, so sellers price to the market and buyers know what they are really paying for.

Listings in this community report association dues of about $66 per month ($792 a year) — the median AssociationFee across 38 MLS records, normalised to a monthly figure; most are billed annually. Dues change with budgets and can differ by section or product type; confirm the current figure with the association before you offer. Source: MLS listing records, 2026-10.
