What Wescott Plantation Sellers Can Expect Right Now
The Wescott Plantation market is active, but buyers are being selective. In the most recent snapshot, there were 29 homes actively listed and 7 homes that went under contract within the previous 10 days.
Detached homes showed the strongest recent movement. The typical detached home currently under contract was larger than the typical active listing—approximately 2,344 square feet with four bedrooms, compared with about 1,908 square feet and three bedrooms among active homes. The median last list price of the detached homes under contract was $450,000, and three of the f...

Why Pine Hills at Cane Bay Feels Like a Vacation Every Day
Life in Pine Hills at Cane Bay is about more than owning a home. It's about waking up each day in a community where resort-style amenities, outdoor gathering spaces, and beautiful surroundings make everyday life feel a little more like a getaway.
Most vacations have something in common. People spend more time outdoors, move at a slower pace, and find themselves enjoying simple moments they often overlook during everyday life. Whether it's an afternoon by the pool, dinner with friends, or an evening walk before sunset, those moments are often what people remember long after the trip is over.
Imagine finding that same feeling just outside your front door.
That is one of the things that makes...

Listening to the Photographs
Yesterday afternoon I spent a couple of hours with a family preparing their home for professional listing photographs. Most people probably imagine that a photo shoot is all about cameras, lighting, and making sure the house looks perfect. There is certainly some truth to that. Before the photographer ever takes the first picture, I walk through the house turning on lights, opening blinds, clearing countertops, hiding trash cans, putting toilet seat lids down, and making sure anything that doesn't belong in a photograph quietly disappears. In this home, that even included gathering up every dog toy before the photographer arrived.
Once everything is ready, the photographer begins working room by room. As she moves through the house, my job is simply to keep the homeowners one step ahead of the camera. If she is photographing the living room, we wait in the kitchen. When she moves into the kitchen, we step into a...

Wescott Plantation Is Not One Market
When people talk about the Wescott real estate market, they often talk about it as though every home is competing in the same market.
They're not.
A home in Shinnecock is competing with a different group of homes than a townhome in The Gates of Wescott. A golf-course home in Markleys Grove is attracting different buyers than a detached home in Woodlands at Wescott. Even though they all share the same Wescott address, buyers do not view them the same way.
After reviewing active listings, homes currently under contract, and homes that have sold over the past three months throughout Wescott Plantation, one thing became very clear: buyers are still choosing Wescott, but they are choosing carefully.
The strongest prices are still being found in Shinnecock. Homes there continue to command som...

Wescott Homeowners: Buyers Are Still Buying, But They Are Being Picky
If you're a homeowner in Wescott and wondering whether now is a good time to sell, the short answer is yes.
Homes are still going under contract, and buyers are still choosing Wescott. In fact, there are currently more homes under contract than many homeowners might expect given today's interest rates and economic uncertainty.
But there is an important difference between today's market and the market we experienced a few years ago.
Buyers are no longer willing to overlook pricing mistakes.
The homes that are priced appropriately and show well are attracting attention and going under contract. The homes that are overpriced are sitting on the market longer and often requiring price reductions before buyers become interested.
Detached hom...
