Home Sales In Killearn Estates


Written by: Joe Manausa, MBA

One Tallahassee neighborhood that I have yet to tackle is Killearn Estates. While it is a great neighborhood and one that is very popular, it is actually a bit of a mess in the Leon County Property Appraisers’ tax rolls. It would be nice if everything “in the compound” was called “Killearn Estates,” but that is not the case.

In order to understand the “mess,” you have to understand Killearn Estates. For example, is the Gardens of Killearn “inside the compound?” YES. But it usually is properly recorded as the Gardens of Killearn Subdivision, but sometimes it pops up as the Killearn Estates Subdivision. In order to clarify “what we’re measuring,” the following list will be the communities referred to collectively as Killearn Estates.

Killearn Estates Sees Falling Home Prices

Much like we have seen in other Tallahassee subdivisions, Killearn Estates has been doing very well over the long haul, but has given back a bulk of the gains established during the boom years of 2004-2006. In the real estate graph below, the blue bars represent the total number of homes sold in Killearn Estates each year, while the purple line shows the average home price each year.

Killearn Estates Enjoys Solid Long Term Appreciation

While prices have been bashed in the past three years, the long-term appreciation in Killearn Estates is solid. Had you purchased a home there in 1991 and sold it this year, you would have realized an annual appreciation rate of nearly 4%. Considering most people leverage their home purchase with borrowed money, the rate of return is far higher.

Joe,
Great stats….. I think the Killearn franchise has run its course. Great middle class area….good value now, but old and tired….just a victim of changing demographics to other more popular areas of the county.

Thanks Doug, but I wouldn’t take it out back and shoot it just yet. The Killearn communities hold nearly 10% of all Tallahassee households, and they are doing very well (I live in Killearn Lakes…). Neighborhoods go through life cycles and some of the early Killearn Estates areas have been modernized/updated and are as nice as any homes in Tallahassee.
