Last 30 days in Southern Villas: 1 new listing (median asking $295,000). As of October 11, 2026, realMLS.
Southern Villas has settled into a median price of $245,000, working out to $170.73 per square foot across the community's 144 homes. That price has held a balanced posture this year, up 2.9% year over year, with only 2 active listings on the market and homes moving in a median of 28 days. Months of supply sits at 3.4, which keeps the community in balanced territory rather than tilting hard toward either buyers or sellers.
The pricing here is less about a hot streak and more about a long, steady climb: values are up 172% since 2012, a trajectory that points to sustained demand rather than a recent spike. With homes built between 1985 and 1996 (median year built 1989) and a median living area of 1,634.5 square feet, this is an established, mid-sized product that draws consistent interest without generating bidding-war conditions. For sellers, that means pricing to the comp, not the headline. For buyers, it means less real competition per listing than the thin active count might suggest.
Southern Villas right now
🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 10, 2026. Confidence: Medium (1 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($258K) is up 7.4% from the prior 12 months ($241K). With about 6 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending October 10.

Who Southern Villas is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable with an established, 1985–1996 home stock who want steady, non-speculative price growth.
- Owner-occupants planning to stay long-term, in line with the community's high homestead share.
- Sellers who can price precisely to recent comps rather than chase headline appreciation.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new construction or a wide range of floor plans to choose from — active inventory is very limited.
- Investors seeking rapid turnover or a high volume of comparable trades to benchmark against.
- Buyers hoping for a fast, high-volume bidding environment — the market here is balanced, not hot.

The Southern Villas buying strategy.
If we were buying in Southern 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Southern Villas.
A Slow, Steady Climb
At $170.73 per square foot, Southern Villas prices in line with an established, mid-size home stock rather than new construction. A median of 28 days on market, combined with 3.4 months of supply, describes a balanced market: listings clear at a normal pace, but they are not evaporating overnight. With only 2 active listings against 144 total homes in the community, buyers should expect a thin selection at any given moment — when something on your list comes up, plan to move on it.
The 172% appreciation since 2012 is the real story here — a long, compounding gain rather than a short-term run-up, sitting on top of a still-positive 2.9% year-over-year figure. Homes were built between 1985 and 1996, with a median year built of 1989 and a median living area of 1,634.5 square feet, so most inventory falls into a similar size and age band. A 70.1% homestead share suggests most owners have claimed the property as their primary residence, which tends to support steadier turnover than a market with heavier investor or rental activity.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Southern Villas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (8.2). Basis: Recent Direction +7.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 70% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 99.6% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 2 active listings across 144 homes, Southern Villas is not a market where you can wait for a flood of options to compare — you need a broker who knows the recent closings, not just what happens to be live today. Momentum tracks this community's pricing pattern in $/sq. ft. terms and days-on-market, so you can walk into an offer, or a listing, with a number grounded in Southern Villas' actual trades rather than a citywide average.
