The median list price is $259,900 and the median sold price over the past year was $257,250, so asking and sold values track closely. Homes run about $176 per square foot on a median size of 1,436 sqft. There are currently 52 active listings spanning $129,900 to $679,900.

It's balanced and moving steadily — the median days on market is 32.5, and sellers are averaging 98% of their asking price. With 142 sales over the past year against 52 current listings, inventory turns over at a healthy rate. That gives buyers room to negotiate without the pressure of a runaway market.

Carrying costs here are modest, with a median HOA of $65/month and median property taxes around $3,195/year. Note that only a couple of the active listings are gated communities, so many homes carry little or no HOA at all. Median rents sit near $1,698/month, useful context if you're weighing an investment purchase.
