Key Findings

1. The neighborhood’s primary market signal is the median sold price of $259,000, which represents the best indicator of realized value and recent transaction activity; this sits below the median listing price of $301,000, suggesting a meaningful pricing gap that may reflect seller expectation adjustments. down
2. Extended selling timelines—median days on market of 269—point to slower sales velocity and reduced liquidity; combined with the market temperature labeled as cold, this suggests transactions are taking longer and sellers may need to price more competitively to expedite sales.
3. Inventory conditions in the analyzed sample show elevated inventory relative to sales activity, which appears consistent with the reported price year-over-year trend being down; this excess supply relative to demand may continue to apply downward pressure on realized prices and increase negotiating leverage for buyers.
4. Rental and financing headwinds are adding to market softness: the median market rent is $1,800 and the rent year-over-year trend is down, while interest rate pressure is described as elevated and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are averaging approximately 6.5%, which may constrain buyer affordability and slow market recovery.
