The 193-day median days-on-market figure is the number to anchor on. This is not a bidding-war environment — homes here sit, get evaluated, and close on terms rather than momentum. For sellers, that means pricing to the condition and comparable sales in front of you, not to a narrative of scarcity. For buyers, it means there is room to inspect, negotiate, and walk away from a home that does not check out.

The year-built range running from 1952 to 2024 spans two very different products under one community name: original-era homes that may need updating, and newer builds that reset the baseline on systems and elevation. With no clubhouse or community amenities identified from current MLS listings, buyers are paying for the home and the lot itself — not shared infrastructure — so due diligence on the individual structure carries more weight here than it would in an amenity-driven subdivision.

In a market this dependent on the specifics of each home — build year, square footage, condition, and how long a listing has actually been sitting — we pull the comparable sales and days-on-market history property by property rather than leaning on a neighborhood average that will mislead you either way.
