Insights from Tom Smith
-
Waterfront Premium – Buyers continue to pay a clear premium for properties with private river access and unobstructed views.
-
Tight Supply – With so few homes available, well-priced listings have a strong chance of moving quickly.
-
Custom Value – Many homes here are one-of-a-kind builds, so lot quality, outdoor amenities, and finish level make a big difference in pricing.
