ZIP and county figures describe the wider market, not Melsons Addition specifically. Momentum Research analysis of MLS records.

A median build year of 1951 in a neighborhood that started in 1904 means you are almost always buying age. That is not a knock — older, compact homes on this scale reward buyers who know how to evaluate systems, foundations, and prior work. But it does mean inspection matters more than usual, and that new construction from as recent as 2024 exists alongside homes over a century old, creating a genuinely wide spread in what a dollar buys.

With homesteaded properties making up under a third of the homes, a meaningful slice of the market has moved as non-owner-occupied. For a buyer, that can mean more listings that were held as rentals — deferred maintenance is a real possibility, and so is opportunity if you can do the work. For a seller with a well-kept or updated home, that same backdrop is an advantage: quality stands out against tired comparables.

In a market this driven by condition and age, the number that matters is the one your specific house earns — not a neighborhood average. We walk the property with you, read the era and the prior work honestly, and price against genuinely comparable homes rather than the loudest listing on the block. That is the difference between guessing and knowing in Melsons Addition.
