Starburst is a brand-new pocket of Hammock Bay in Freeport — every home in the current snapshot was built in 2024, and the median sits right around $515,000. With no year-to-year construction variation to speak of, price here is driven less by vintage and more by lot, floor plan, and finish level. The median footprint is a generous 2,815 square feet, so you are buying newer, larger product rather than a fixer.
The market posture is patient. Median days on market runs about 102 days, and only 3 listings are active against 22 closings in the trailing window. That combination — thin active inventory but slow-moving sales — tells sellers to price with discipline and tells buyers there is room to negotiate on a home that has been sitting. Year-over-year values are essentially flat at 1.5%, so this is not a market to count on quick equity.

The Hammock Bay - Starburst buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hammock Bay - Starburst 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 - Starburst.
A new-build section still finding its footing
Because the housing stock is entirely recent and consistent, the spread in price comes down to finish, lot position, and plan size rather than age or condition. At a median near 2,815 square feet, these are substantial homes, and buyers should compare comparable plans closely rather than assuming one 2024 build equals another.
The homestead share is under 40%, which is worth naming plainly: a meaningful portion of these homes are not owner-occupied primary residences. In a community with only 57 homes and just 3 currently listed, that mix shapes both resale liquidity and how you should think about long-term hold. No community amenities surfaced in the current MLS data, so value the home on its own merits and the Hammock Bay location, not on a promised amenity package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hammock Bay - Starburst. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
