A BUYER’S PERSPECTIVE

Compare estate homes and villas first

The PGA Property Owners Association describes Thurston Estates as custom estate homes, many with lake and golf course views, and the Villas of Burwick and Thurston as a small townhome community with garages and water and golf views. An earlier POA guide places Thurston near the PGA National Resort and PGA Burwick Park.

An estate home and a villa offer very different living, so decide on home type first, then compare lot or courtyard space, view and condition. Verify the current association documents for the exact address.

Questions for an individual home

  • Is this property an estate home or a villa, and which association covers it?
  • What does the home look out on, and is there a pool or private outdoor area?
  • Which recent Thurston sales match this home's type, view and condition?

Shared MLS reporting cutoff: November 1, 2026. Closed sales: November 2, 2025 through November 1, 2026. A figure appears only when it rests on at least 1% of the area's residential properties, rounded to the nearest whole sale (halves round up), and never fewer than 1. The market-time interval is derived from market-entry and contract dates. Small samples can change substantially with one transaction. Definitions and exclusions.

Property and market evidence

DEFINITIONS

How to read the figures

Tax properties describe housing stock. MLS listings describe marketing activity, and closed sales describe completed transactions. Those counts answer different questions.

Reporting period and independent source dates

Closed sales run from November 2, 2025 through November 1, 2026, inclusive. Current Active counts and date-relative calculations use the shared November 1, 2026 reporting cutoff.

The broader PGA National community report uses the same reporting cutoff and closed-sales period. Source membership and measured residential denominators can differ between the parent and a subdivision.

Subdivision assignment and coverage

The tax inventory has 40 recorded subdivisions within PGA National, and each has its own guide. The guides follow the county’s recorded subdivision names, which can differ from the names residents and associations use.

Parcel ID connects eligible MLS records to the tax group. Unmatched records stay outside individual subdivision results. In the full MLS source, 0 Active listings and 0 trailing-year closed sales have no assigned tax subdivision. These are retained as source-coverage exceptions and are not assigned to a neighborhood by inference.

Listing counts, closed sales and sample limits

A sale is an MLS record with status Closed, a close price of $10,000 or more and a close date on or before the reporting date. One record per listing (the latest update); the same parcel, close date and price count once.

A figure appears only when it rests on at least 1% of the area's residential properties, rounded to the nearest whole sale (halves round up), and never fewer than 1.

Price per square foot is the median of each sale's close price divided by its MLS living area, never a ratio of two medians.

Days to contract is the purchase contract date minus the on-market date in calendar days (the listing contract date only when the on-market date is blank), counting 0 to 3,650 days. It is not MLS days on market.

Counts remain visible. “Limited sales” is not a zero value. Site methodology.

Tax characteristics and property checks

Residential properties are distinct county tax parcels with residential land-use codes (0100, 0101, 0110, 0200, 0300, 0400, 0500, 0600, 0800, 0810) plus residential lots (0000). Lots count in the total but get no invented home details.

A recorded ownership transfer is not necessarily an arm’s-length sale. Tax values and transfer records are not advertised asking prices or a valuation of your property. Confirm the exact address, association responsibilities, facilities, restrictions and property measurements before making a decision.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

A Thurston home that fits your next chapter

If either a custom estate home or a lower-maintenance villa near the resort would make a move worthwhile, define those priorities before reviewing Thurston listings and other potential matches.
