Market Heat
Price here is driven by size and condition more than address. With a median living area just over 3,100 square feet and homes built between 2002 and 2007, you're paying for space in a settled, one-generation subdivision — the median sits at $642,000, or roughly $208 per square foot. Expect a wide spread around that median depending on how a given home has been maintained and updated, since the housing stock is close in age.
The current posture is slow and slightly soft. A market heat score of 34 and a year-over-year change of -3.5% tell you this is a buyer-tolerant window, not a bidding-war market. Median days on market of 31 is a normal, unhurried pace. Sellers should price to the comps and resist anchoring to last year; buyers have room to inspect, negotiate, and walk without penalty.

The Preserve At Astor Farms Ph 3 buying strategy.
If we were buying in Preserve At Astor Farms Ph 3 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 Preserve At Astor Farms Ph 3.
A settled, space-first pocket
This is not a place where the numbers move fast. The build window is tight — 2002 to 2007, median 2006 — so you're evaluating homes at a similar structural age, where the difference between two listings comes down to roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and baths rather than floor plan novelty. The square footage is the headline: a median above 3,100 feet means these are substantial houses, and the per-square-foot figure of about $208 reflects size absorbing some of the price.
With only 118 homes and a three-closing window feeding this snapshot, comparable sales are thin. That thinness cuts both ways: a single updated or dated sale can swing the perceived median, so lean on condition-adjusted comparisons rather than the raw number. The near-70% homestead share signals limited turnover, which tends to keep inventory tight even in a cooler market like this one.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Preserve At Astor Farms Ph 3. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (6.5). Basis: Recent Direction -3.5% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 70% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 96.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 118-home community with only a handful of recent closings, the median is a starting point, not an answer. We price and negotiate off condition — roof age, systems, and interior updates — because in a same-era subdivision that's what actually separates two homes. In a slightly soft, buyer-tolerant window, that discipline protects sellers from overpricing and gives buyers a defensible case at the table.
