The Commons at Frederica trades on very few data points right now — just 11 closings in this window — so the headline numbers move fast and should be read with that caveat in mind. The median price of $625,000 and median price per square foot of $285.03 reflect whatever mix of homes happened to sell, not necessarily a shift in what the community is worth.
The 26.3% year-over-year decline is almost certainly a function of that thin sample rather than a broad repricing, and it sits against a 171% gain since 2012 that shows the longer arc has been strongly upward. With a market heat score of 34 and a median 97 days on market, this is a slower-moving, condition-and-negotiation-driven environment right now — sellers should price to the comparable sale in hand, and buyers have room to negotiate on terms and timeline.
The Commons at Frederica right now
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($625K) is down 26.3% from the prior 12 months ($848K) and up 171% since 2012. 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 scout closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 30. Confidence: Low (11 and 4 sales in the two windows).

Who The Commons at Frederica is best for.
Best for
- Buying with a longer time horizon, where the community's 171% gain since 2012 matters more than this year's single reported swing.
- Comfortable doing extra diligence on comps given the small closing count, rather than relying on one headline median.
- Looking for negotiating leverage in a market with a 97-day median time on market and a low heat score.
Probably not for
- Needing a large, active inventory of comparable listings to choose from before deciding.
- Expecting amenity-driven community features — none are currently identified in MLS listings here.
- Wanting a fast-clearing, high-competition transaction rather than a slower, negotiation-paced one.

The The Commons at Frederica buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Commons at Frederica 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 The Commons at Frederica.
Reading a thin data set correctly
With only 11 closings in the current window, The Commons at Frederica does not generate the kind of statistical depth that supports confident trend calls. A 26.3% year-over-year drop in median price is real as reported, but in a market this size it can just as easily reflect a shift in which homes sold — smaller, older, or more dated properties closing instead of larger or recently updated ones — as any actual softening in value.
The more telling number may be the 171% gain since 2012, which points to sustained long-term demand for this address even as short-term readings bounce around. A median of 97 days on market and a market heat score of 34 both describe a market that is not moving urgently in either direction — homes here are being evaluated on their own merits, at their own pace, rather than competed for.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Commons at Frederica. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
