At roughly $288 per square foot against a median near $940,000, you are largely buying square footage and land. Because no shared amenities show in current listings, there is no HOA-backed feature set propping up values — the differentiator is the parcel and the build. Expect a wide condition-driven spread rather than a tidy tier of near-identical homes.

The closing sample here is thin — only three closings in the window — so treat the median as directional rather than precise. Combined with an 8-day median on market, the takeaway is a low-inventory, quick-turn environment where a single sale can shift the read. Both sides should price and offer against the specific home in front of them.

In a fast, thin market like this one, the number that matters is the one the specific home supports, not a neighborhood average built on a handful of sales. We help sellers position for the quick turn this pocket rewards, and we help buyers move decisively without overpaying when the clock is short. Our read stays grounded in condition and parcel, because that is what sets price here.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
