Pricing in Waterset centers on a median of $566,000, with per-square-foot value around $240 — a reflection of homes built mostly in the mid-2010s carrying larger, move-in-ready floor plans rather than dated stock needing work. With a median living area over 2,500 square feet, buyers here are paying for space and a build era (2013-2022) that skews newer than much of the surrounding market.
A median 37 days on market and a market heat score of 31 point to a measured pace — not a bidding-war environment, but not stagnant either. Sellers should expect real, if unhurried, buyer interest; buyers get enough runway to negotiate on condition and terms rather than racing a clock.

Who Waterset is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing larger living space (2,500+ sq ft) in a home built within the last decade or so.
- Buyers comfortable with a moderate, unhurried market pace who want negotiating room rather than a bidding war.
- Buyers planning a primary residence, given the high homestead-exemption share among current owners.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a documented, on-site amenity package confirmed before they'll consider a phase.
- Buyers seeking the oldest or newest possible construction — this phase clusters mid-decade.
- Investors expecting fast turnover; the current pace and ownership pattern favor longer holds.

The Waterset buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waterset 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 Waterset.
What the numbers tell you
At 324 homes, this phase is large enough to generate a steady, trackable resale pattern rather than a handful of one-off sales. The median year built of 2017 places most inventory in a middle-age band for the community — old enough to have settled in, young enough to avoid the deferred-maintenance issues common in older Hillsborough stock.
The current MLS data shows no community amenities identified for this specific phase, which means buyers evaluating pools, trails, or clubhouse access should confirm directly what's within walking distance versus what's part of the broader Waterset footprint. Treat the phase-level listing sheet as a starting point, not the full picture of what's nearby.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waterset. 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 Waterset 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 (6.7). Basis: Liquidity & Demand 4.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 77% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.6% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A phase this size, inside a larger master-planned community, requires knowing which section you're actually buying into — lot placement, proximity to amenities not captured in this dataset, and how homestead-heavy ownership affects resale timing. We track those details phase by phase rather than treating Waterset as one undifferentiated listing pool.
