Sommerset Villas is a small, older resale pool — 221 homes with a median year built of 1998, though the range stretches back to 1950 and up to 2023, so buyers are comparing very different eras of construction inside one community. At a median of $282,500 and roughly 1,247 square feet of living space, price per square foot ($202.46) tells you more here than the headline number, since unit size and vintage vary widely.
The math right now favors buyers. A 16.2% year-over-year pull in median price, a market heat score of 23, and a median 24 days on market together describe a community that has cooled and is not moving with urgency. Sellers pricing off last year's comps will likely need to adjust; buyers have more room to negotiate on condition and terms than they would have a year ago.
Figures in this note are as of July 29, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Sommerset Villas buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sommerset Villas today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Sommerset Villas.
A market thinned out and repricing
With only 20 closings in the current window against 221 total homes, Sommerset Villas trades in small numbers — a handful of sales can swing the median from month to month. That makes any single closing here more meaningful to reported price movement than it would be in a larger subdivision, and it argues for looking at recent comparable sales directly rather than relying on year-over-year percentages alone.
The spread in year built (1950 to 2023) means condition and updates likely explain more of the price variation between units than location within the community does. A buyer evaluating two similarly sized villas here should expect the age and renovation state of each to matter as much as, or more than, the square footage on paper.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sommerset Villas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
