Jon's Current Read

Markham Place is a small, established pocket of 85 homes built between 1978 and 2010, with a median build year of 1980 — meaning most of what's here has decades of ownership history and a wide range of update levels. With only one active listing at this snapshot, there isn't enough current inventory or a recent closings window to establish a reliable price trend, so any pricing conversation here has to be built home by home rather than off a market average.

The homestead share sits at 85.9%, which tells you this is a community of long-tenured owner-occupants rather than turnover-driven or investor-heavy. That kind of stability usually means fewer listings surface in a given year, and when one does, condition and updates — not comps — do most of the talking on price.

The 60-Second Overview

Markham Place is a modest-sized, deed-restricted community in Longwood built out over three decades, with homes that skew toward larger living space — a median of 2,211 square feet — on a mix of original and updated construction.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Best for

  • Buyers wanting a settled, low-turnover community rather than a fast-flipping resale market
  • Buyers who want larger living space (median 2,211 sq ft) and are comfortable evaluating a range of build years and update levels
  • Buyers willing to verify HOA deed restrictions directly and move when the rare listing appears

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need several homes to compare before deciding — there is essentially no current inventory to shop
  • Buyers seeking new or recently built construction, given the median build year of 1980
  • Buyers who want a documented, active resale trend to lean on before pricing an offer

If we were buying in MARKHAM PLACE today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 MARKHAM PLACE.

Best Buy
Buyers looking for a settled, deed-restricted Longwood community with larger-than-typical living space.
Biggest Risk
With only one active listing and no recent closings to reference, pricing here requires home-by-home diligence, not market averages.
Sweet Spot
Homes with documented updates from the 1978–2010 build range, where condition has kept pace with age.
Avoid If
You need a wide selection to choose from or a fast, comp-driven transaction — inventory here is thin.

A Small, Settled Corner of Longwood

With just 85 homes total and construction spanning 1978 to 2010, Markham Place isn't a single-phase subdivision with uniform architecture — it's a community that grew and filled in over time, which means buyers will find a real range of layouts, lot placements, and renovation histories even within the same streets. The median build year of 1980 puts the bulk of the housing stock on the older end of that range, so original systems, roofs, and finishes are a real consideration on much of what's here.

The homestead share of 85.9% is the more telling number for anyone trying to understand how this market behaves: it's a place people buy and stay, not a rotating door of investment or short-term ownership. Combined with an active listing count of one at this snapshot, that tells buyers to expect scarce, sporadic availability, and tells sellers that a well-presented listing here won't be competing against a wall of comparable inventory. The listed community amenity is deed restrictions, which points to some level of HOA governance and standards — but specifics, dues, and any additional access should be verified directly with the HOA rather than assumed.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in MARKHAM PLACE. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

In a community this thin on inventory, pricing a home well or evaluating one fairly takes more than pulling a market report — it takes knowing what's actually traded nearby, what condition did to those numbers, and what the deed restrictions actually require before anyone writes an offer. We do that legwork directly with the HOA and the comps that exist, not the ones a spreadsheet assumes.
