Price here is driven almost entirely by condition and vintage, not by any uniform product type. With a housing stock that spans more than a century and a median build year in the mid-1980s, two homes on the same block can be very different animals — one updated, one original — and that spread is exactly why the median sits at $195,000. Square footage runs modest, with the median home just over 1,150 feet, so you are paying for location and land as much as for interior space.
The market posture is slow and negotiable. A median of 78 days on market and a heat score of 28 tell you sellers are not naming their terms right now, even with year-over-year price movement up 11.4%. For a buyer, that means time to inspect, time to negotiate, and little pressure to waive contingencies. For a seller, it means condition and pricing discipline matter — the market rewards move-in-ready and punishes optimistic list prices with more time on market.
Taft Town right now
🟡 Balanced market. 5.1 months of supply and 33% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 Stellar MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: High (9 active and pending listings, 9 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($195K) is down 2.5% from the prior 12 months ($200K). With about a dozen 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 Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

The Taft Town buying strategy.
If we were buying in Taft Town 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 Taft Town.
A condition-driven market, not a cookie-cutter one
The defining feature here is age variation. Homes date from as far back as 1910 through new construction completed as recently as 2024, with the typical home built around 1984. That range means renovation status is the single biggest swing factor in value — the median price per square foot of about $192 is an average across original homes and updated ones, and individual properties will land well above or below it depending on the work done.
Homestead share sits near 40%, which points to a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied use in the area. Combined with the slow days-on-market figure, that gives patient buyers room to be selective and to lean on inspections. This is a market where walking the specific house matters far more than the neighborhood average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Taft Town. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Taft Town buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
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 (5.5). Basis: Recent Direction -2.5% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 5.1 months of supply; Owner Commitment 41% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 96.5% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this condition-dependent, a single median tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We underwrite each property on its own vintage, renovation status, and square footage rather than the area number — and with a slower 78-day market, we help buyers use that time for leverage and help sellers price with the discipline this posture demands.
