Key Findings

  1. The primary market value indicator is the $296,000 median sold price, which represents the most reliable signal of recent transaction activity in this ZIP; given the market temperature is neutral, this median sold price suggests a balanced outcome between buyer and seller expectations.
  2. There is a notable spread between the $339,900 median listing price and the $296,000 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction where seller asking prices exceed recent transaction levels and could require adjustment for quicker sales.
  3. With a 44 median days on market, sales velocity appears moderate to slowed relative to ultra-competitive conditions; this longer median days on market may indicate buyers are exercising more due diligence and negotiating leverage despite steady pricing.
  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated and current mortgage conditions average 6.6% for a 30-year fixed, a factor that may suppress buyer urgency and affordability; investors and sellers should account for elevated interest rate pressure when setting price expectations and marketing timelines.
