The homes here were built across an 11-year span ending in 1998, with a median build year right around 1992. At a median of about 2,806 living square feet, these are substantial floor plans by the standards of their era. Expect to underwrite the individual house — roof, systems, kitchens, and baths — because in a community this age the difference between two similar-looking homes is almost entirely what has been touched and when.

Owner-occupancy runs high, with a homestead share near 79 percent. That points to a stable, low-churn ownership base and helps explain the thin transaction flow. For a buyer, low turnover means you may wait for the right listing; for a seller, it means less direct competition but also fewer recent comps to lean on when setting a number.

In a low-velocity, condition-driven community like this, comps only get you so far. We price and evaluate off the actual house — what has been updated, what is deferred, and how that reads against a thin recent record — so sellers do not leave money on the table and buyers do not overpay for someone else's postponed maintenance.

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