Hickory Lakes is a small, single-era subdivision of 142 homes built between 1992 and 1999, with a median build year of 1996. That narrow construction window means most of the housing stock shares a similar age and general floor-plan era — median living space here runs 2,052 square feet, putting this squarely in mid-size single-family territory rather than starter or estate-scale product.
Supply and demand currently favor buyers: with only 2 active listings against a trailing 2-month closings window, months of supply works out to 12.0 — a slow, thin market where a single listing entering or leaving inventory moves the picture materially. For sellers, that argues for careful, comparable-driven pricing rather than testing the market; for buyers, it means less competition on any one listing, but also fewer comparables to lean on, so verifying condition and value case-by-case matters more than usual here.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 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 realMLS records, as of October 26, 2026.

Who Hickory Lakes is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a single-family home in the roughly 2,000-square-foot range and are comfortable evaluating an individual 1990s-built home on its own merits.
- Sellers prepared to price carefully in a slow-moving market rather than expecting a bidding war.
- Buyers who prioritize an established, fixed-size community over new construction or a large pool of listings to compare.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want multiple active listings to compare side-by-side before deciding — inventory here is currently very limited.
- Buyers seeking documented community amenities as a deciding factor — none are identified in current MLS listings.
- Sellers expecting a fast sale driven by high buyer competition, given the current buyer-leaning months-supply read.

The Hickory Lakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hickory Lakes 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 Hickory Lakes.
A Small, Aging Pool With Thin Inventory
With just 142 homes total and a construction window bounded by 1992 and 1999, Hickory Lakes is not a large or continually-building community — it's a fixed, mature stock. A median build year of 1996 puts most homes at roughly three decades old, which for buyers means factoring the usual mid-life system replacements (roofs, HVAC, water heaters) into any offer, since the data available doesn't break out per-home condition or renovation history.
The ownership picture also stands out: about 78% of homes in the community carry a homestead exemption, which points to a market weighted toward owner-occupied resale rather than frequent investor turnover — worth knowing when gauging how often inventory here actually turns over. On the amenity side, current MLS listings do not identify any community-specific amenities, so buyers should confirm directly with HOA documentation or the listing agent rather than assume a particular amenity set.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hickory Lakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin — 2 active listings and a 12.0-months-supply read — the data available publicly only goes so far. Momentum pulls directly from the realmls feed to track how few comparables exist in real time, so pricing conversations here are grounded in what's actually active and closed rather than a broad citywide average, and any claim about amenities or condition gets verified rather than assumed.
