Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.

Property Taxes

Liquidity & Velocity

Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.

Market Trends & Context

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.

Key Findings

1. The primary market signal is the median sold price of $1,237,000, which represents the most reliable indicator of realized value and recent transaction activity in the ZIP—this sits alongside a flat price environment according to available trend metrics, suggesting limited upward momentum.
2. Liquidity appears slow: the median days on market is 283, which suggests slower sales velocity and pricing friction despite sales continuing to occur; this may indicate buyers are selective or pricing expectations are misaligned.
3. There is a notable spread between the median listing price of $1,995,000 and the median sold price of $1,237,000, which suggests seller expectations may be elevated relative to recent transaction prices and could lead to extended marketing times or negotiated price adjustments.
4. Rental strength and financing context are supportive but cautionary: the median market rent is $3,358 with rents trending up, while interest rate pressure is characterized as moderate and local 30-year fixed mortgage rates are reported at 6.53%, which may sustain demand from renters but continue to temper buyer affordability.
