Firefly is a tight, newer pocket of Hammock Bay in Freeport, with just 106 homes built in a narrow window from 2019 to 2022. That consistency is what sets price here: you are largely comparing like against like, with a median around $385,000 and a median living area near 2,100 square feet. Spread within that band comes down to condition, finishes, and lot, not vintage.
The current posture is slow and patient. With a median 123 days on market and only 2 active listings against 3 recent closings, this is a low-velocity segment where buyers have time and sellers do not get to rush. Year-over-year movement is modest at 1.9%, so neither side should expect a fast market. Price it right and be prepared to wait.

The HAMMOCK BAY - FIREFLY buying strategy.
If we were buying in HAMMOCK BAY - FIREFLY 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 HAMMOCK BAY - FIREFLY.
A newer, uniform pocket that trades slowly
The defining trait here is uniformity. Homes were built between 2019 and 2022 with a median build year of 2020, so the mechanical and structural questions that dog older stock are largely off the table. At a median of roughly 2,100 square feet, the floor plans cluster tightly, which means differences between one listing and the next usually trace back to condition and finish level rather than age or size.
No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so buyers should evaluate this on the homes and the Freeport location rather than on shared facilities. The owner-occupied share sits near 68%, a signal of a settled ownership base. With a long median days on market, the practical takeaway is that this is a deliberate market: motivated, well-prepared sellers and buyers who are willing to move at a measured pace both do fine here.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in HAMMOCK BAY - FIREFLY. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 (7.2). Basis: Recent Direction +1.9% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 68% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.5% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a low-inventory, slow-turning segment like Firefly, pricing and positioning do the heavy lifting. With only a couple of active listings and a small pool of recent closings, one comparable can swing the read, so we build the number off the actual homes trading rather than a blanket assumption. We will tell a seller candidly what condition and finish level the median around $385,000 reflects, and we will tell a buyer when a listing's 123-day timeline is leverage.
