Key Findings

1. The primary market indicator, median sold price is 215,000, and recent transaction activity aligns with a price year-over-year trend that is down, signaling softening in realized sale values.

2. The median listing price is 177,500, and the relationship between asking and realized prices suggests pricing friction—buyers appear able to secure transactions at levels that reflect recent market cooling rather than asking-price strength.

3. The median days on market is 324, which indicates slower sales velocity and reduced liquidity; coupled with a neutral market temperature, this appears to reflect more cautious buyer behavior rather than a sharply imbalanced market.

4. Interest rate pressure is elevated (current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.3%), and median market rent is 1,600 while rent year-over-year trend is down; elevated financing costs alongside weakening rents may compress investor demand and further moderate price momentum.
