Your questions, answered
Straight answers from The Meadows’s closed transactions.
What does a home here cost?
The median sale closed at $885k in Aug 2026, up 33.1% on a year ago. Typical sales ranged $656k–$885k.
What income do you need to buy here?
At a 6.5% 30-year mortgage with 20% down, the median home runs about $6,460/mo including taxes and HOA — comfortable at a household income around $258k a year, using the 30% rule. Renting instead costs $4,300/mo.
Is now a good time to buy?
10.5 months of inventory points to a buyer’s market, and sellers are accepting about 5.8% under ask. Prices are still climbing, so waiting has a cost.
How fast do homes sell?
About 146 days from listing to contract in Aug 2026. The pace picks up toward April and slows around January.
How much room is there to negotiate?
Closings typically land 5.8% under asking price, and 64% of active listings have already reduced their price (median cut 4.8%).
When is the best time to list?
Closings peak in April and bottom out around January. Listing four to six weeks ahead of the peak historically gets the most eyes.
Is it a good rental investment?
Yield needs at least 3 closed sales and 3 closed leases in a month — this area doesn’t clear that bar yet.
Buying vs renting
Price-to-rent ratio is 17.2 — buying typically starts to beat renting after roughly 5–7 years here.
