What You'll Pay
What does your budget get you here?
Honest ranges, not the headline number on Zillow.
Under $450K
Condos, Villas and Townhomes
Typically two-bedroom units, often in gated or golf course communities, some with substantial HOA fees. Condos and townhouses sold at a median of $420,000 from January through September 2026, so most of this tier is smaller or older units. Check the school zone for the specific address.
$450K – $650K
Older Single-Family
Three-bedroom, two-bath houses, typically 30 to 40 years old on smaller lots. Some are well-kept originals and others need updating. This range is below the 2026 house median of $755,000, so fewer homes come up here.
$650K+
Established Single-Family and Estates
3–4 bedroom homes with updated kitchens, community amenities, and often private pools. Equestrian estates with acreage and barn access start here and run into the millions.
