This page tracks what homes in Reserve at Belmere actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 13 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 September 2026.

What homes sold for in Reserve at Belmere

$865,000Median sale price

$322Median per square foot

18 daysMedian days to contract

13Homes sold in 12 months

Sale prices ran from $637,290 to $2,400,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home size	Sales	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median days
2,000 to 3,000 sq ft	7	$835,000	$331	7 days
3,000 sq ft and up	6	$1,102,454	$307	78 days

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 8 sales, closed at 96.3% of asking6 days

Reduced at least once 5 sales, closed at 96.6% of the reduced price87 days

Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 6 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 87 days and still closed at 96.6% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $70,000. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.

Seller concessions

38%Of sales included a seller credit

$19,710Typical credit when there was one

5 of 13Sales 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 9 sales69%

VA 2 sales15%

Cash 2 sales15%

Cash was 15% 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.
