Shawnee Ridge's four available homes in the cited snapshot were asking below $330,000, while the two-year sale median was $370,000. Their sizes and features need to be compared before that difference is interpreted as a change in values.
Shawnee Ridge's sale history
Between October 2024 and October 2026, 21 homes in Shawnee Ridge closed at a median of $370,000. Prices ran from $295,000 to $520,800.
The typical house was 2,220 square feet, and the houses were built between 2001 and 2018. None of the 21 was new construction, so the whole record is owners selling to buyers.

The four listings, and why they are the interesting part
Most neighborhoods on the map had one, two or no homes for sale when it was last read. Shawnee Ridge had four. Asking prices were $280,000, $285,000, $295,000 and $325,000, at sizes from 1,413 to 2,636 square feet. All four were three bedroom houses, and three of the four were under 1,550 square feet.
That is a snapshot from the date in the source line below, not a live count. But it tells a seller something a median cannot. Every one of the four homes competing for attention in this neighborhood was asking below $330,000, which is well under the two year median of $370,000.
A buyer walking this neighborhood in that week was being shown a lower band than the sold record would suggest, and a seller listing at the median would have been the most expensive house for sale in the neighborhood without meaning to be.
Why the sold range is wide
The spread from $295,000 to $520,800 across 21 sales is not noise. It is what a seventeen year build range and a size range this broad produces. A 1,413 square foot house from 2001 and a 3,267 square foot house from 2018 are in the same subdivision and in different markets.
The median sits between two groups rather than in the middle of one.
So the practical move for a seller here is to stop at the median and keep going: find the sales in the last two years that match the house on size first, then on age. In a 21 sale record there will be a handful, which is enough to price from and thin enough that each one matters.
Who this suits
The build range means both ends of a move can happen inside one neighborhood. An owner in one of the earlier, smaller houses looking for more room has later and larger stock a few streets away, and an owner in a larger house wanting less to maintain has the reverse. Whether that is actually a good idea depends on the house and on how the household lives in it, which is a conversation, not a column.
Review the four available homes before listing, then recheck availability when the decision is made. The competition can change, so the snapshot belongs alongside the recent sales and the condition of the house.
What your house is worth, which of the 21 sales an appraiser would accept, and what the four competing listings will actually close at are not in this neighborhood. Valuation of a specific property is its own piece of work and a lender's appraisal is the appraiser's.
