The defining fact here is age. A median year built of 1953 with the range reaching back to 1889 means you are largely shopping early- and mid-20th-century construction, with a scattering of new builds through 2024 filling in gaps. Inspections matter more than usual: plan for close scrutiny of roof, plumbing, electrical, and any additions on the older homes, and read the newer stock on its own terms.

The homes are modest in footprint — a median near 1,122 square feet — so this is not a market to chase big-house economics. Value comes from location proximity and from work already completed. Buyers willing to renovate have the widest field to choose from; buyers who want turnkey should be ready to pay up for the few homes that already are, because they are the exception in a stock this old.

In a market where a 1953 median sits beside homes from 1889 and 2024, the wrong comparable can cost you real money in either direction. We price and negotiate off condition, not off a headline number, and we know which streets and which renovation levels actually move. If a listing's asking price assumes work that was never done, we will tell you before you write the offer.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
