Village Green and McCarty Park: the last 12 months
My home neighborhood in Aurora is small, so a quarter doesn’t tell you much. Here’s the last 12 months (October 2025 through September 2026) for the two MLS subdivisions that make up most of it:
- Pine Meadows: 7 sales, averaging about $480,000, with homes selling in about 23 days on average.
- Pheasant Creek: 10 sales, averaging about $372,000, with homes selling in about 18 days on average.
Homes in both subdivisions are selling in under a month. See my Village Green neighborhood guide for more on the area.
What this means if you’re selling in Aurora
Demand is still there, but more listings means buyers can be choosier. Homes that show well and are priced to the closest sales are still moving in about a month on average. Ones that miss on price sit.
