Market Heat
Waverly Place's pricing story is a spread, not a single number. Homes here were built anywhere from 1904 to 2022, with a median build year of 1995, and the typical home runs 2,161 square feet. At a median price of $394,000 and a median price per square foot of $255.47, condition and vintage do more work here than location alone in setting what a given home is worth.
Months supply sits at 3.4, which puts this in balanced territory by our own read, but the numbers underneath it are thin: only 2 active listings and 7 closings in the most recent window, against a median 20 days on market. Prices are up 4% year over year and have climbed 119% since 2012. For a seller, that combination means real leverage but little room for a mispriced listing to sit; for a buyer, thin choice means being ready to move once the right property appears.

🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.0 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of August 30, 2026.

Who Waverly Place is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a median-priced home near $394,000 who are comfortable judging each property on its own condition rather than a neighborhood average.
- Buyers ready to move quickly in a thin-inventory market, where homes are typically under contract in about 20 days once listed.
- Sellers with a well-maintained or updated home who want a hand-prepared valuation that reflects their property's specific vintage and condition.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a pre-verified list of community amenities rather than a straightforward house-and-lot purchase.
- Buyers expecting a uniform, single-era subdivision rather than a mix of construction spanning 1904 to 2022.
- Sellers hoping to lean on an automated, algorithm-generated price instead of a hand-prepared, condition-based one.

The Waverly Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waverly 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Waverly Place.
A market defined by vintage, not volume
The median home in Waverly Place runs 2,161 square feet and sells around $255.47 per square foot, in line with a median price of $394,000. About 80.9% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a market where owner-occupancy is the norm rather than the exception.
Our market heat score for Waverly Place currently sits at 67, with 3.4 months of supply putting it in balanced territory: neither a runaway sellers' market nor one where buyers can negotiate freely. Inventory is thin either way, with only 2 active listings on the MLS right now, and current MLS listings do not identify any documented community amenities, so buyers should verify anything advertised as an amenity directly rather than assume it.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waverly 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 Waverly 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 5 factors (8.5). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +131% since 2012; Recent Direction +7.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 85% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 100.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 2 active listings and homes ranging from an 1904 build to 2022 construction, comparing Waverly Place properties on a spreadsheet alone can be misleading. We prepare a hand-reviewed valuation for every home we work on here rather than publishing an automated number, because a 2,161-square-foot median does not tell you what a specific older build versus a newer one is actually worth.
