The numbers point to a community still finding its resale footing. A 76-day median DOM and a 4.1% year-over-year dip suggest the market is digesting inventory rather than chasing it, and the heat score of 40 confirms that. With a median living area of 2,537 square feet and a median price of $470,000, the per-foot figure of $179.27 is the clearest lever: within one build era, the spread you pay comes from upgrades, lot, and condition, not from older versus newer stock.

A homestead share of 47.6% means a meaningful portion of these homes are primary residences, with the balance held by owners who are not homesteading. For a buyer, the practical takeaway is to underwrite on recent comps and negotiate on time, since listings here don't appear to move quickly. For a seller, realistic pricing against the last several closings matters more than holding out for the prior year's levels.

In a community with no standing inventory and a median 76 days on market, timing and comp discipline are everything. We track every closing in Solera, know how to read spec and upgrade differences that explain the per-foot spread, and will tell you plainly whether a given asking price lines up with what has actually sold. That candor cuts both ways - buyers get leverage in a cooler market, and sellers get a price that transacts instead of sits.
