Half of the homes that sold went under contract within 42 days. Cumulative days on market runs higher at 67, the gap indicating homes that were relisted rather than selling on the first attempt. The median sale closed at 100.0% of asking — at list. 69% closed at or above the original list price, which is the better measure of how much room a buyer actually has.

What this means if you are buying in Highland Meadowsspecific to this neighborhood

Three builders means three specification standards under one subdivision name. Compare like with like by builder rather than by price, and ask each what is standard versus an upgrade — the same headline price can buy noticeably different houses here.

What to check in homes of this agerecent stock

With a median year built of 2025, most homes here are recent stock. None of the following says anything about a specific house — they are the questions worth asking of any home of this age.

  • Homes this new are generally still on their original systems, which is an advantage now and a cluster of replacements later.
  • Where the neighborhood is still building out, check what remains to be built nearby and what the builder controls.
What sold, in more detailsizes, bedroom mix and timing

Of the 26 homes sold, 14 were 4-bed, 10 were 5-bed, 2 were 6-bed.

Above-grade size ranged from about 1,636 to 2,756 sq ft across the middle 80% of sales, so the median alone understates how much variation there is.

Closings cluster in September, February and October, with 46% of the year's sales closing between April and September. Because closing typically follows the contract by a month or more, listing activity runs earlier than that.
