Detached houses make up 75.8% of homes in Summit, with 10.6% in multi-unit buildings and 2.8% attached single-family. The stock leans to houses without being exclusively houses.
78.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which is a high ownership rate and usually means low turnover and tightly held inventory.
Half of Summit's homes were built in 1978 or earlier, so a large share predates modern energy codes - worth leaving time in the inspection for the roof, the electrical, and the plumbing.
10.9% of housing units are manufactured or mobile homes, which typically signals available acreage and a live land market in and around Summit.
