Market Heat
The Woods trades on space and age of construction more than anything else. With a median living area above 3,100 square feet and a build era running from the early 1990s into the early 2020s, pricing here reflects lot size, condition, and how much a given home has been updated since its original construction, not a uniform new-build premium.
A median of 124 days on market and a market heat score of 32 point to a slower-moving, buyer-negotiated environment rather than a competitive bidding market. Combined with pricing down slightly year over year, sellers should expect longer marketing time and price flexibility, while buyers have room to negotiate on terms and timeline.

Who The Woods is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a larger living area, above 3,000 square feet, and are comfortable evaluating condition on a case-by-case basis.
- Buyers planning a longer-term hold who are not deterred by a slower, 124-day median marketing period.
- Sellers with an updated or well-maintained home who can price competitively against a wide condition spread in the same median range.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need on-site community amenities, since none are currently identified from MLS listings in The Woods.
- Sellers expecting a fast sale, given the current 124-day median days-on-market figure.
- Buyers focused strictly on new or near-new construction, given the median build year of 1994.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 28 of each year, from record-level cpar closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($565K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($579K) IS the -2.4% one-year change.

The The Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Woods 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 Woods.
A community built on size and stability
The 108 homes that make up The Woods were built between 1991 and 2022, with a median construction year of 1994. That spread means the neighborhood carries a mix of original-condition homes and more recently constructed or renovated properties, which is a major driver of the current median price of $565,000. Buyers should expect a wide range of interior condition and updates within that single price point rather than a uniform product.
A homestead share of 88.2% signals a community where most owners are in long-term occupancy rather than cycling through as rental or investment stock, which helps explain the modest five-listing closing window and the longer, 124-day median time on market. Turnover here is infrequent, so inventory tends to move at its own pace rather than in response to broader market pressure.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
