This description is compiled from the figures above and from published sources. It is not a statistic.
Hare Bay’s for-sale market is very limited right now, with just 5 active listings and a median asking price of $168,000, reflecting a mix of modest coastal homes and more updated properties across the community rather than one dominant area. Homes have been listed an average of 36 days so far, suggesting buyers have some room to compare options, but the 3 new listings in the past 30 days signal fresh choice is coming onto the market. For buyers and investors, selection is the main constraint—well-priced, well-maintained listings may attract attention quickly despite the small overall pool.
