Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $342,500, $161 per square foot, a median 23 days on market, sellers accepting 96% of original asking. At the median price and Polk County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.19 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,540 ($4,870 with the full homestead exemption).
In Fort Socrum Village, price is driven more by the individual home than by any community premium. The median sits at $342,500, or about $160.72 per square foot, and there are no identified amenities to pad value, so condition, layout, and lot do the heavy lifting. Expect a wide spread around that median depending on how updated a given home is.
Market posture is balanced leaning active. A median of 23 days on market and a heat score of 54 tell you well-prepared listings move without much drag, but there is no scarcity-driven frenzy here. With zero active listings in the current snapshot, buyers should be ready to act when inventory appears, and sellers benefit from pricing to the median rather than reaching past it.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Fort Socrum Village buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fort Socrum Village 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 Fort Socrum Village.
A condition-driven market with thin supply
With no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, there is no HOA-driven amenity package carrying the price. That keeps carrying costs simple and puts the burden of value on each property: an updated kitchen, a renovated bath, or a better lot can push a home well above the $342,500 median, while deferred maintenance pulls the other way. The $160.72 median per square foot is a useful anchor, but treat it as a midpoint, not a rule.
The absence of active listings in this snapshot is the single most important fact for planning. Demand clears at a reasonable pace once homes hit the market, so both sides should prepare in advance rather than wait to react. Buyers who line up financing and a decisive offer strategy will compete better; sellers who prep and price to the data will see the 23-day pace hold.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fort Socrum Village. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
