Parks @ Cathedral is sitting in a balanced market right now, with 6.0 months of supply and just one active listing. Two closings in the recent window is a thin sample, and it says more about scarcity than about a settled price level — with inventory this tight, a buyer who wants in has almost no choice among active options, and a seller isn't fighting a stack of competing listings for attention.
What actually sets value here has less to do with a typical price band and more to do with condition and vintage. The 69 homes in the community span construction from 1901 to 2020, with a median build year of 2002 and a median living area of 1651 square feet — so two owners can be comparing very different products under the same community name. Only about 37.7% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied or investment ownership, which is another variable worth factoring into how a given unit has actually been maintained.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Parks @ Cathedral buying strategy.
If we were buying in Parks @ Cathedral 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 Parks @ Cathedral.
A wide build spread inside a gated footprint
At 69 homes, Parks @ Cathedral is a small footprint, and the numbers back that up: a median living area of 1651 square feet and a median build year of 2002, inside an overall range running from 1901 to 2020. That spread means the community isn't one architectural moment — floor plans, lot placement, and finish level will vary more than the size of the community suggests.
The gated setup carries a clubhouse, a pool, and grounds maintenance handled at the community level, on top of the security gate itself — amenities reported across this community's MLS listings, so confirm current access and offerings with the HOA before counting on them. On the market side, 6.0 months of supply and a single active listing describe a balanced but very thin market: not enough turnover to call it a sellers' rush, not enough inventory to call it a buyers' market either.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Parks @ Cathedral. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
