The math here is straightforward but the sample size demands caution: a median price of $1,025,000 against $334.25 per square foot describes a community where value is driven heavily by lot, condition, and individual home characteristics rather than by a deep set of comparable sales. With just four closings feeding this snapshot, buyers and sellers should treat the median as directional rather than precise, and lean on a broader comparable set when pricing or offering on a specific property.

Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities, which typically points to a smaller or more informally organized enclave rather than a managed, amenity-anchored development. That is not a drawback on its own — it just means the appeal here is the location and the homes themselves, not a clubhouse or shared recreation package, so buyers should evaluate the property on its own merits rather than assuming HOA-run extras.

A market built on four recent closings is easy to misread without local context — a single high or low sale can swing the median, and days-on-market figures can hide very different stories from one listing to the next. We work through the underlying sales one at a time, not just the summary numbers, so pricing and offer strategy in Shaws Bounty are grounded in what actually happened on the ground, not a thin average.
