Market Heat
Long Bay's homes span a build range from 1928 to 2024, with a median build year of 1996 and a median living area of 1,601 square feet. That spread is what actually sets price here: two homes on the same street can be decades apart in construction and finish level, so the median price of $238,740 and median price per square foot of $135.05 are anchors, not guarantees — condition and age do the heavy lifting on any individual offer.
Right now the numbers describe a balanced market: 5 active listings against 458 homes in the community, roughly 4 months of supply, and a median 22.5 days on market. Pricing is down 8.3% year over year even though it remains up 141% since 2012 — a reminder that recent softening is a correction inside a longer run-up, not a reversal of it. With only 16 closings in the tracked window, each new listing meaningfully moves the read on this community.
Long Bay right now
🟡 Balanced market. 5.3 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 August 23, 2026. Confidence: Medium (4 active and pending listings, 10 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($234K) is down 6.9% from the prior 12 months ($252K) and up 137% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 23. Confidence: Medium (10 and 46 sales in the two windows).

Who Long Bay is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable underwriting a home on its own condition and age rather than relying on a tight comp set.
- Buyers targeting a median price point near $238,740 who want room to negotiate in a balanced market.
- Longer-term holders who want exposure to a community with a 141% price gain since 2012.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need dozens of active comparables to feel confident on price — only 5 listings are on the market at a time.
- Buyers who want a newly built home exclusively — the build range runs back to 1928.
- Sellers expecting last year's pricing — the median is down 8.3% year over year.

The Long Bay buying strategy.
If we were buying in Long Bay 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 Long Bay.
What the numbers say about Long Bay
At 458 homes, Long Bay is large enough to generate a real trend line but small enough that active inventory of 5 listings can swing the market read from one week to the next. Roughly 49.4% of homes carry a homestead exemption, telling you close to half of the homes in the community are owner-occupied rather than rented or held as second homes — useful context when weighing how much of the inventory is likely to turn over.
The price trend is the real story: up 141% since 2012 but down 8.3% over the past year, with a median price per square foot of $135.05. That combination — a long-run gain paired with a near-term pullback — is typical of a market resetting after a fast run, not one in structural decline. A median 22.5 days on market and roughly 4 months of supply put this squarely in balanced-market territory: enough competition to keep sellers honest, not enough to force buyers into rushed decisions.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Long Bay. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +137% since 2012; Recent Direction -6.9% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 5.3 months of supply; Owner Commitment 37% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 93.5% sale-to-list.
