Builder upgrades and updated kitchens and baths usually command a premium.

What the data means

What should buyers and sellers in North Reach know?

North Reach rewards preparation on both sides: buyers need to move quickly on well-priced homes, and sellers who price in line with recent Palisades sales sell fastest, while overpriced listings tend to sit.

For buyers

Homes sold at a median of 99% of asking, with a median of 46 days on market, giving buyers some time to decide.
Resale homes compete with new Taylor Morrison construction; builder sales often include seller incentives.
Budget by bedroom count: about $511K for 3 bed, $558K for 4 bed, $650K for 5 bed (median).
Size drives price: homes under 2,100 sq ft mostly sold below $510K, while 3,400+ sq ft homes sold for $650K–$750K.

For sellers

Pricing is everything: 18 listings in this data expired or were withdrawn without selling, many priced above comparable sales.
Sellers contributed a median of $1,000 (average $4,219) in concessions; new-build sales often carried more.
Spring is busiest: 21 of 44 sales closed in the first half of 2025.
Condition, floor plan, and lot separate top sales; a pre-listing plan can capture that premium.
