What the numbers say

What 93.9% means if you’re selling here

Over the last twelve months, homes in The Peninsula closed at 93.9% of list price after an average of 42 days. On a median sale of $1,735,000, that is roughly $105,000 between what sellers asked and what they got.

That is not a soft market. It is what happens in a community where every home is genuinely different and the first price is often a guess. The Peninsula is not a subdivision of comparable floor plans — two houses on the same street can be separated by a dock, a view corridor, or a golf frontage that no automated model prices correctly.

The sellers who close near list are the ones who got the first number right. The ones who take 42 days and six percent are usually the ones who tested a price, waited, and reduced — and by then the listing has a history buyers can read.

Three things that decide a Peninsula sale

The water access is a separate asset from the house

Waterfront homes here carry their own pier and dock. Many off-water homes carry a deeded boat slip. Those are not features — they are assets, with their own scarcity and their own buyer. A slip can be the entire reason someone chooses your interior home over a comparable one two streets away, and it is invisible to an estimate that sees bedrooms and square footage. Priced as a line item, it gives away money. Priced as the thing being bought, it changes the number.

Golf frontage is not one thing

A lot on the course is not automatically worth more than a wooded interior lot. It depends on the hole, the angle, the traffic, and what the buyer wants to look at. Some buyers pay a premium for it. Others will not live on it. Pricing it generically is how a home ends up in the 93.9%.

Club membership is optional, and that shapes your buyer

The Peninsula Club and The Peninsula Yacht Club are separate memberships, not something that transfers automatically with the house. That cuts both ways. Your buyer pool is wider than club members alone — but for the buyer who does want the club, the cost of joining is part of their budget, and it competes with your price.

The course reopened in 2024, and it matters to your listing

The Peninsula Club’s championship course — originally a Rees Jones design — was rebuilt by Beau Welling Design, breaking ground in October 2023 and reopening in 2024. The same project added four tennis courts and six pickleball courts.

That is a recent, material improvement to the amenity the community is named for, and most listing copy in the neighborhood has not caught up with it. If you are selling here, that is a current selling point rather than a historical one — and it belongs in the marketing, not left for a buyer to discover.
