With more than 92 percent of homes homesteaded, Waterford Oaks is a community people hold rather than flip. That shows up in the supply: zero active listings as of early August 2026, and only a handful of closings in the recent window. The homes themselves are substantial — a median living area just over 3,000 square feet and a median build year of 1998 — so the housing itself skews toward buyers who want room and are comfortable with homes that have some age.

Because there are no identified community amenities from current MLS data, value comes down to the individual home: lot, layout, updates, and how the 1992–2016 construction has been maintained. That puts a premium on walking the property. The median of $730,000 reflects the size of these homes, but condition will move any single sale well above or below that number.

In a neighborhood with no active listings and fast-moving closings, the advantage goes to whoever hears about a home first and can read condition quickly. We track Waterford Oaks closely enough to tell you where a given home sits against that 1992–2016 build window and the $730,000 median — and whether a fast list time reflects true demand or just sharp pricing.
