Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $637,500, $268 per square foot, a median 27 days on market, sellers accepting 98% of original asking (+4% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1994–1998; 5 of 5 report an HOA (median $26/mo). At the median price and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $9,950 ($9,320 with the full homestead exemption).
In Waterford Place, price is driven by the home itself, not by community perks — current MLS listings show no identified shared amenities, so what you're paying for is the house, the lot, and condition. With a median around $637,500 and roughly $262 per square foot, the spread here is wide and condition-led: updated homes and deferred-maintenance homes can sit far apart on price even when square footage is similar.
The market posture is firm but not frantic. A median of about 27.5 days on market and a heat score of 63 point to a market that rewards realistically priced, well-presented homes without punishing buyers who take a beat to inspect. Sellers still hold a modest edge; buyers who come prepared and move deliberately are not shut out.

The Waterford Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waterford Place 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 Waterford Place.
A condition-led price story
The longer-run numbers tell the story of a steady, appreciating stretch: roughly 110% growth since 2012 and about 7.1% year over year through mid-2026. That kind of trajectory tends to reward homes that have been maintained and updated, because with no shared amenities to lean on, the property's own condition carries the value.
For buyers, that means budget for the house you actually see, not an average. A home near the median can price very differently depending on updates, and the per-square-foot figure of about $262 is a starting reference, not a rule. For sellers, presentation and honest pricing matter more here than elsewhere — the sub-30-day median rewards homes that hit the market clean and correctly priced.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waterford Place. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Waterford Place buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (7.8). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +119% since 2012; Recent Direction +4.1% year-over-year; Pricing Power 97.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
Because this is a condition-driven market with a small recent closing window — only six closings in the current sample — comps here need interpretation, not just a spreadsheet. We read each property against its actual state of repair and updates, so buyers don't overpay for a tired home priced like a fresh one, and sellers don't leave money on the table by under-presenting.
