Key Findings

1. median sold price: 203,000 is the primary indicator of current market value and suggests recent transaction levels are supporting ongoing price appreciation; sellers should price competitively against this representative recent sale to avoid extended time on market. up

2. median listing price: 249,950 sits notably above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and realized transaction values and suggests careful pricing strategy is needed to minimize concessions.

3. The market shows a long sales cadence with median days on market: 255, which points to slower sales velocity and neutral market dynamics; combined with a relatively constrained active supply, this may indicate balanced negotiation leverage rather than a swift turnover environment.

4. Market fundamentals show price momentum and financing context to monitor: year-over-year prices are up, rents are down, and interest rate pressure is elevated with local 30-year fixed rates averaging 6.35%; investors and owners should factor higher financing costs and softer rental trends into short-term hold and pricing decisions.
