Price in Tara Farms tracks condition and vintage more than anything else. The community's 113 homes were built anywhere from 1940 to 2024, with a median year built of 1981 and a median living area of 2,097 square feet — a wide enough range that two houses on the same street can carry very different price tags depending on how much has been updated. The current median sits at $543,060, or $265.72 per square foot, and 73.6% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a market built more on long-term ownership than turnover.
The market itself is running balanced, with about three months of supply and a median of 21 days on market — not a frenzy, but not sluggish either. Just one active listing exists against four recent closings, which tells you inventory is thin: sellers who price correctly are moving quickly. Prices are up 20.7% year over year and 135% since 2012, with a market heat score of 67 reflecting steady, not overheated, demand. For a buyer, that means being ready to move decisively when the right listing appears; for a seller, it means this is not a market to leave money on the table by underpricing.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.0 months of supply and 50% 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 realMLS records, as of July 14, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($543K) is up 20.7% from the prior 12 months ($450K) and up 135% since 2012.

Who Tara Farms is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $543,060 median who are ready to move fast in a market with just one active listing.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating homes across a broad build range (1940 to 2024) rather than a single construction era.
- Sellers with a well-maintained, updated home who want to price against a 21-day median time on market.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want on-site community amenities, since none are identified from current listings.
- Buyers needing a large pool of active inventory to compare, given just one listing currently on the market.
- Buyers with a strict budget ceiling well under the $543,060 median, where options will be scarce.

The Tara Farms buying strategy.
If we were buying in Tara Farms 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 Tara Farms.
Thin Inventory, Long Climb
With just one active listing against a median of 21 days on market and roughly three months of supply, Tara Farms is functioning as a balanced market on paper but a tight one in practice. Four homes have closed in the recent window — not a large sample, but consistent with a small, 113-home community where turnover is naturally limited.
The bigger story is the price trajectory: values are up 20.7% over the past year and 135% since 2012, translating to a current median of $543,060, or $265.72 per square foot on a typical 2,097-square-foot home. Combined with a median year built of 1981 and a build range stretching from 1940 to 2024, that appreciation has been earned across a genuinely mixed housing stock rather than a single-era subdivision.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Tara Farms. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
