Key Findings

  1. $241,000 — The median sold price remains the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity in 36117; with the price year-over-year trend showing up, sellers can expect modest price appreciation, so price positioning should be aligned to recent sold comps rather than listing optimism.
  2. $342,500 median listing price vs. the median sold price highlights a significant asking-to-sale gap that may indicate pricing friction; pricing strategies that reference the representative recent sale range are likely to improve list-to-contract conversion.
  3. 780 days median days on market indicates materially slower sales velocity and suggests extended time to contract; sellers and listing agents should plan for longer marketing periods and consider staged incentives or flexible terms to maintain buyer interest.
  4. Market conditions are broadly balanced: the market temperature is neutral with balanced supply-demand dynamics and relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample, while interest rate pressure remains elevated with average 30-year fixed mortgage rates near 6.60%, so financing sensitivity should be addressed in buyer outreach and offer negotiations.
