The median home here was built in 1988, but the range runs from 1900 to 2024. That spread tells you most of what you need to know: this is not a uniform subdivision with one floor plan and one era. Expect to evaluate each home on its own merits - roof age, HVAC, electrical, and how recently the kitchen and baths were touched will separate comparable square footage into very different values.

At a median of roughly 1,729 square feet, these are mid-sized homes, and the roughly 75% homestead share points to an area held long-term rather than flipped. For a buyer, that means patience and a willingness to look past cosmetics on the right bones. For a seller, it means the homes that show well and price to their true condition stand out, because the comp set is varied enough that an overpriced, under-prepared listing has nowhere to hide.

With no active listings and no recent closings in the current MLS window, Deer Run rewards analysts who dig past the snapshot into actual sold condition and comparable updates. We walk the homes, read the systems honestly, and price to what a property is - not to a rounded number pulled from a wide range. That discipline matters most in an area this varied in age and condition.
