FIRST ADD right now

🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 months of supply and 0% 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 Stellar MLS records, as of August 2, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($280K) is up 5.7% from the prior 12 months ($265K). With about 5 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 Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 2. Confidence: Low (4 and 9 sales in the two windows).

If we were buying in FIRST ADD today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 FIRST ADD.

A closer look at the FIRST ADD market

At a median of $261 per square foot, FIRST ADD prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.

Inventory runs at 4.0 months of supply, a balanced market and the trailing-12-month median up 6% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 25 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.

The housing stock is 876 homes built between 1918 and 2024, and 47% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in FIRST ADD. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
