The 1900-to-2024 build range is the number to sit with. Practically, it tells you two homes on paper-similar lots can differ enormously in systems, layout, and remaining life on roof and mechanicals. A median build year of 1995 puts the center of gravity in mid-1990s construction, but the tails matter — older stock can carry charm and deferred maintenance in equal measure, while the newest homes command a premium for exactly that reason.

At a median of roughly 1,892 living square feet, most homes here land in a practical mid-size footprint rather than at either extreme. The owner-occupied lean — homestead share just over 61% — suggests turnover is driven more by life changes than by churn, which tends to keep inventory measured. Buyers should budget inspection time generously; the age variety makes a thorough walk-through the single most valuable step.

In an area this varied, the value is in reading each home correctly — matching build vintage, condition, and square footage to what you're actually paying for. We price and evaluate property by property rather than leaning on a neighborhood average, and we'll tell you plainly when a listing's condition doesn't justify its ask or when an older home is worth the work.
