Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of current market value is the median sold price — 297,000 — which represents recent transaction activity; the presence of a higher median listing price (336,000) suggests a spread that may indicate seller expectations exceed recent closed-sale levels.
  2. The market shows slower sales velocity as reflected in the median days on market of 1,285, which suggests transactions are taking longer and may give buyers more time to negotiate.
  3. Pricing context shows a median price per square foot of 209 alongside a median market rent of 950; with rent year-over-year trend listed as up, this suggests strengthening rental demand even as sales pricing remains stable.
  4. Market-level signals are mixed: the price year-over-year trend is flat and market temperature is neutral, while interest rate pressure is elevated (negative); together these factors appear to be keeping pricing stable but limiting transactional urgency.
