What Silverleaf Reserve is, and who it suits
Silverleaf Reserve is a Meritage Homes community near Hamlin, in Horizon West's Town Center village. Meritage's new-home sales have tapered off, and every home listed for sale here in October 2026 was a resale. It is a different neighborhood from Silverleaf Oaks, the Pulte community beside it, even though the two share a street and part of a name.
It was built as two kinds of home. The bungalows, which the MLS files under their own Silverleaf Reserve Bungalows name, sit on smaller lots and, despite the name, every one sold in the last year was two-story. The rest are larger single-family homes. The bungalows sold for roughly $170,000 less than the larger homes, so compare a home with its own type, not with the neighborhood median.
Listings describe a community pool, a playground, walking trails and sports courts, and resale listings advertise that there is no CDD. Confirm that on the tax bill for a specific home before relying on it.
With Meritage's new homes largely sold, resale sellers here compete with each other and with new construction elsewhere in Horizon West, and several current listings pitch themselves against a new build. A buyer weighing the two should set the move-in date and any builder incentives against the price difference.
A strong fit for buyers who want a nearly new home near Hamlin without waiting for one to be built; buyers who want a newer two-story bungalow for less than a full-size house; and buyers who want a community pool without paying for a large amenity center.
A weaker fit for buyers who need a single-story home, which were about one sale in ten; buyers who want to choose a floor plan from a builder, who can compare Avalon Woods in the same village; and buyers who want a large lot.

Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Never reduced 17 sales, closed at 98.1% of asking29 days
Reduced at least once 14 sales, closed at 97% of the reduced price86 days
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 29 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 86 days and still closed at 97% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $26,550. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
Seller concessions
71%Of sales included a seller credit
$10,000Typical credit when there was one
22 of 31Sales 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 16 sales52%
FHA 9 sales29%
Cash 6 sales19%
Cash was 19% 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.
