This page tracks what homes in Picciola Island actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 5 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated October 2026.

Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.

Sale prices ran from $200,000 to $410,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home sizeSalesMedian priceMedian $/sq ftMedian days
Under 2,000 sq ft4$255,025$21034 days

A price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

Price cuts and time to contract

Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.

Never reduced 3 sales, closed at 98.2% of asking5 days
Reduced at least once 2 sales, closed at 101% of the reduced price60 days

Sellers who held their number went under contract in a median 5 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 60 days and closed at 101% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $53,950.

Seller concessions

40%Of sales included a seller credit
$13,475Typical credit when there was one
2 of 5Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

Conventional 2 sales40%
Cash 2 sales40%
FHA 1 sale20%

Cash was 40% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
