The defining feature here is space in an older package. A median living area of 2,424 square feet is well above what many newer subdivisions deliver, but the median build year of 1978 — inside a range that stretches from 1950 to 1999 — means those square feet come with age. Roofs, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing vintages vary house to house, and that variation is exactly where the price spread lives. There is no single entry point to quote; the honest read is that condition dictates value more than any tidy price band would suggest.

The homestead share near 87% tells you turnover is modest and most homes are lived in long-term. For a buyer, that translates to patience: inventory across 67 homes is thin, and the right updated house may not appear on your timeline. For a seller, it argues for pricing off your specific home's improvements rather than a neighborhood average that blends renovated and original properties together.

In a small, condition-driven neighborhood like this, the comp that matters is the one that matches your home's actual updates, not just its square footage. We underwrite each Point Of Woods home on its mechanicals, roof age, and finish level so buyers do not overpay for deferred maintenance and sellers do not leave money on renovated stock. With limited inventory and long-tenured ownership, timing and positioning do the heavy lifting — and that is where local read beats a spreadsheet.
