Market Heat
Deerfield Preserve is pricing off condition and lot more than anything else right now: the median sale sits at $386,000, working out to $213.58 per square foot, with a median of 42 days to get a contract signed. Year over year, the median price is down 7.8%, which tells you this is not a market where a seller can lean on last year's comps and expect the same number today.
With only 3 active listings and 3.3 months of supply, inventory here is thin enough that a single listing can shift the read on price. Momentum's data classifies this as a balanced market, and with 11 closings in the current window and a heat score of 46, neither side has enough leverage to dictate terms outright — a buyer gets some room to negotiate, a seller still sees homes close in a reasonable window.
Deerfield Preserve right now
🟡 Balanced market. 2.7 months of supply and 33% 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 August 5, 2026. Confidence: Medium (3 active and pending listings, 10 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($378K) is down 8.9% from the prior 12 months ($415K). With about 22 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 August 5. Confidence: Low (10 and 5 sales in the two windows).

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 5 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($378K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($415K) IS the -8.9% one-year change.

The Deerfield Preserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Deerfield Preserve 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 Deerfield Preserve.
A Thin, Balanced Market
The math here is straightforward: a $386,000 median price, $213.58 per square foot, and a 42-day median time to contract. Those figures describe a market where homes are pricing on their own condition and lot rather than getting swept up or held back by broader momentum. The 7.8% year-over-year decline in median price is worth sitting with — it does not mean every home is worth less, but it does mean pricing off last year's closed sales alone will overstate today's market.
Supply is the other half of the story. At 3.3 months, Deerfield Preserve falls inside the range Momentum classifies as balanced, but with only 3 active listings and 11 closings in the recent window, the sample is small. A heat score of 46 reflects that balance — not hot enough to reward overpricing, not soft enough to hand a buyer the upper hand outright.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Deerfield Preserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Deerfield Preserve buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
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 (6.1). Basis: Recent Direction -8.9% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.7 months of supply; Pricing Power 95.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
When a community has only 3 active listings, the handful of comparable sales that do exist matter more than usual, and pricing a home or an offer off the wrong one can cost real money in either direction. Momentum tracks Deerfield Preserve's closings, days-on-market, and pricing trend as they update, and applies that read to how we price a listing or structure an offer here, rather than leaning on a countywide average that will not reflect a market this thin.
