Market Commentary

What the market is doing

Mid-to-luxury tier. Median sale prices $1.2M–$1.5M. Gated status, resort amenities, and included lawn care command premium. Larger community (206 homes) means better liquidity than smaller enclaves. Good appreciation tied to amenity package and Toll Brothers reputation.
