True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 11 recorded sales closed at a median of $367,990, $178 per square foot, a median 27 days on market, sellers accepting 98% of original asking. At the median price and Lake County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.65 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,130 ($5,460 with the full homestead exemption).
Hodges Reserve Ph 1 is a small, thinly traded phase, and the numbers reflect that: nine closings is the entire sample behind this snapshot, so treat any single stat here as directional rather than a precise market signal. The median price of $367,990 and median price per square foot of $178.14 tell you this is a moderately priced product for Lake County, but with so few sales, one larger or smaller home closing can move the median meaningfully.
A median of 92 days on market is the more telling number. That is a slow pace, and it suggests sellers here need to price correctly out of the gate rather than test the market. For buyers, it points to negotiating room and less urgency to act on the first showing. For sellers, it argues for pricing to the comps rather than to hope, since this is not a market absorbing listings quickly.

Who Hodges Reserve is best for.
Best for
- Buyers whose budget lines up near the $367,990 median and who have flexibility on timeline
- Buyers who want a newer-phase home and are comfortable pricing without deep resale history to lean on
- Sellers willing to price precisely to the current 92-day pace rather than test above it
Probably not for
- Buyers who require confirmed community amenities before purchasing
- Sellers who need a fast turnaround and cannot allow for an extended days-on-market window
- Buyers who want a large comparable sales set to validate pricing before committing
The Hodges Reserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hodges Reserve 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 Hodges Reserve.
A market still establishing itself
With only nine closings feeding this snapshot, Hodges Reserve Ph 1 does not yet have the sales volume to support tight pricing conviction. The median price of $367,990 and per-square-foot figure of $178.14 are useful benchmarks, but buyers and sellers should expect variation from one home to the next based on lot, finish level, and floor plan rather than assuming a narrow, predictable band.
The 92-day median days on market is the number that shapes strategy. That is a longer hold than a fast-moving community, and it means listings here need real pricing discipline and presentation to move efficiently. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings for this phase, so buyers weighing lifestyle features should confirm directly what, if anything, is planned or in place rather than assuming amenity access.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hodges Reserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with only nine recorded closings and a 92-day median days on market is not one where you want a generic pricing approach. We work the actual comparable set, not a broad Howey In The Hills average, and we price and negotiate with the slower pace of this specific phase in mind.
