The median list price is $405,000, but the market is broad — active listings start at $99,900 and climb to about $2.25 million. Because homes closed over the past year at a median of $285,000, there's real value available below the current list median, especially for buyers willing to consider smaller or older properties.

Expect to pay around $278 per square foot at the average, with a median home size of about 1,656 sqft. Only four active listings sit above $1 million, so the bulk of the market is well below that — the $285,000 median sold price is the number most buyers should anchor to.

There are 78 active listings and homes are taking a median of about 54 days to sell, so buyers have time to shop rather than rush. Sellers are getting roughly 97% of asking on average, which points to a balanced market where reasonable offers get taken seriously. You can track new inventory on the live map.

The median HOA runs about $135 per month, which reflects the many gated communities in the zone, though plenty of properties carry no HOA at all. Median property taxes come in around $3,143 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent sits at $2,200 per month.
