Because every home here was built within a five-year span and clusters around 1,764 square feet, the pricing conversation is really a condition conversation. Two houses with nearly identical footprints can sell well apart depending on updates, systems, and finishes. Buyers should budget for the reality that a 1980s home may need roof, HVAC, or plumbing attention, and should read each listing on its own merits rather than a neighborhood average.

The roughly 85% homestead share means this is predominantly an owner-occupied enclave, and turnover is low — the recent data shows a single closing. That combination points to a market where good inventory is scarce and moves quickly when it is priced and prepared well. Sellers benefit from that scarcity; buyers need to be pre-approved and decisive.

In a low-turnover, condition-driven pocket like this, the value is in reading each individual home correctly — what has been updated, what is deferred, and how that should shape the offer or the list price. We track this small community closely, so you are not guessing from a thin sales record. Whether you are trying to price a well-kept home into a scarce market or evaluate whether a fixer is worth it, we will give you the straight read.

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