The build range from 1965 to 2021 is unusually broad for a community this size, which means two homes on the same street can be a generation apart in systems, layout, and finish. That variety is the main reason the median price should be read as a midpoint and not a benchmark — what you pay tracks closely to roofs, HVAC, and kitchens rather than to a tidy price-per-foot formula. Budget for inspection findings and read each listing on its own merits.

With the median home near 1,236 square feet, this is compact housing, and the high homestead share suggests inventory turns over slowly. That combination rewards buyers who move decisively on the right updated home while staying disciplined on anything that needs work, given the softer year-over-year pricing.

In a market where condition sets the price and the median masks a wide spread, our value is in pricing each home against its actual updates rather than a neighborhood average. With homes taking about 47 days to move and prices off 8% from a year ago, we help sellers set a number the market will meet and help buyers separate a fair deal from a project priced like a finished house.
