The year-built range here runs from 1900 to 2024, with the median landing in 1967. In practical terms, that tells you condition is everything. Some homes carry original systems and materials; others have been reworked or built recently. Two addresses can look comparable on paper and price very differently once you account for roof, systems, and updates.

Median living area sits just under 1,904 square feet, so the typical home offers real usable space rather than a starter footprint. Combine that with the majority owner-occupied posture and you get a market that rewards patience and inspection diligence over speed. Read each home on its own merits — the community average will not tell you what any single house is worth.

In a market this varied, the value is in reading each home individually — its age, its systems, and how it compares to the median rather than to the house next door. We price and evaluate on condition, not on a blanket neighborhood assumption, and we will tell you plainly when a listing is priced for work it still needs.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
