Price in Sunnihities is driven by condition, not by any single product type. With a median build year of 1971 and stock stretching from 1915 to 2017, this is an older, varied inventory where a renovated home and a deferred-maintenance home can sit on the same block and trade very differently. The median living area of about 1,187 square feet tells you these are modest footprints; value here is unlocked by what has and hasn't been updated, not by size.
A homestead share near 39% means a meaningful portion of these 98 homes are not owner-occupied, which points to rental and investor activity alongside primary buyers. For a buyer, that means you will see a wide spread in condition and you should underwrite each property on its own merits. For a seller, honest condition and clean documentation matter more than comps to a market this heterogeneous.

The Sunnihities buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sunnihities 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 Sunnihities.
An older stock that rewards diligence
The century-plus span of build years here is the headline. A home from the 1910s and a home from 2017 carry entirely different systems, foundations, and renovation histories, and the median year of 1971 sits well inside that range. Buyers should budget for inspection surprises on the older end and verify updates on anything marketed as renovated.
With a median living area of roughly 1,187 square feet, most homes lean smaller. That keeps carrying costs manageable and makes these properties workable for buyers who want a right-sized primary home or an investor evaluating a rental against the roughly 39% owner-occupied share. The trade-off is that square footage alone won't stretch far, so layout and condition do the heavy lifting.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sunnihities. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market this varied in age and condition punishes assumptions. We walk each property on its own terms, flag the deferred-maintenance risk older stock carries, and help sellers position honestly against a mixed set of comparable homes rather than a single number. That candor is the point.
