Market Heat
Price here is driven by a compact, established housing stock built between 1989 and 2007, with a median living area right around 1,295 square feet. That size profile keeps the median price near the mid-$260s — $261,750 as of July 2026 — while the median price per square foot of just over $200 tells you condition and updates do the real work on any individual sale.
The posture is balanced but quick. A median of 8 days on market means clean, correctly priced homes move fast, yet the year-over-year median is off 4.5% and the heat score sits at 48 — this is not a runaway market. Sellers should price to the comps rather than to a wish; buyers have room to be disciplined but not slow.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 11 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($262K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($274K) IS the -4.5% one-year change.
Windows contain 3 to 14 sales each (8 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

A small, owner-held pocket that turns over fast
With about 160 homes and a median build year of 1993, this is a finite, largely built-out neighborhood. Inventory is thin by nature, and the roughly 64% homestead share suggests most owners are staying put, which limits how many listings surface at any one time.
The long arc is notable: median value is up 264% since 2012. That said, the recent 4.5% year-over-year dip and the middling heat score of 48 show the current cycle has cooled off the peak. At just over $200 per square foot on a median footprint near 1,295 square feet, the spread between a dated home and an updated one is where negotiations actually happen.
