With build dates running from 1900 to 2009 and a median around 1975, you are shopping a genuinely mixed stock — early-century structures, mid-century cottages, and a handful of newer builds all sitting in the same small community. There is no standard floor plan or vintage to anchor expectations, so two homes a street apart can differ wildly in systems, foundations, and finish. That makes a careful inspection non-negotiable and makes older, deferred-maintenance properties the ones to scrutinize hardest.

The homestead share, just over half, suggests a stable owner-occupant base alongside some non-homesteaded properties that may be seasonal or investor-held. For a buyer, that mix can mean opportunity on the properties that turn over, but the small overall count means listings are infrequent and you may wait for the right one.

In a thin, low-turnover market with no recent closings to lean on, pricing and negotiation come down to judgment, not spreadsheets. We read each property on its own condition and lot, tell you plainly when a home's asking price outruns its bones, and help you time an entry in a community where the right listing may not appear on your schedule.
