The housing here was largely built around 1979, with the oldest homes dating to 1957 and the newest to 2022. That long range tells you two things: original mid-century stock still exists, and some lots have been rebuilt or infilled more recently. Buyers should underwrite each house on its own merits - roof, HVAC, electrical, and kitchen/bath condition will explain most of the price difference between two otherwise similar homes.

With a homestead share of roughly 35 percent, a meaningful portion of the 178 homes are not owner-occupied as a primary residence, which can mean more rentals or second homes than a fully homesteaded neighborhood. No community amenities are identified from current listings, so this is a location-and-house play rather than an amenity-driven one. With no active listings and only two recent closings, pricing signals are sparse, and both sides should lean on comparable sales and condition rather than a steady flow of local data.

A quiet market with no active listings and a wide age range of homes is exactly where local judgment pays off. We help buyers value a specific house on its condition and systems rather than a neighborhood average, and we help sellers price into thin inventory without guessing. When comps are scarce, the read on a single property matters more, and that is the work we do.
