Pine Meadows is a built-out neighborhood of roughly 288 homes constructed between 1978 and 1992, with a median build year of 1982 and a median size around 1,437 square feet. With that tight a vintage band and a single floor-plan era, price here is driven less by location variance and more by condition — updated kitchens, baths, roofs, and systems separate the top of the market from the tear-into-it projects. The median sits at $300,000, but expect a wide spread around it depending on how much work a home still needs.
The posture right now favors sellers. A median of 6 days on market against just one active listing tells you inventory is scarce and well-priced homes move fast. Buyers should come pre-approved and ready to decide; sellers of clean, updated homes have leverage, while dated homes will still trade but on the buyer's terms once inspection reveals the deferred work.

🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($300K) is up 5.3% from the prior 12 months ($285K) and up 146% since 2012.

The PINE MEADOWS buying strategy.
If we were buying in PINE MEADOWS 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 PINE MEADOWS.
A condition market, not a location lottery
Because the homes were all built inside a 14-year window and cluster around 1,437 square feet, the value question in Pine Meadows is almost entirely about upkeep. Homes from this era commonly reach the age where roofs, HVAC, electrical panels, and original kitchens come due, so two houses on the same street can price very differently based on what has already been replaced. Read the inspection carefully and price the remaining work honestly.
The neighborhood carries no MLS-identified community amenities — no pool, gate, or clubhouse to fund or maintain — which keeps carrying costs simple. Values have climbed 146% since 2012 and 5.3% over the past year, so this has been a steady performer, but that history is context, not a forecast. What you are buying is a modest, well-located single-family home in a low-turnover pocket.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in PINE MEADOWS. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
