Key Findings

  1. $311,000 is the median sold price and therefore the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity for this ZIP; representative recent sale suggests modest, realized price levels rather than asking-price optimism.
  2. The price year-over-year trend is up, consistent with modest appreciation, while market temperature is neutral; up signals gradual strengthening rather than rapid escalation.
  3. The median listing price is $379,000, which sits above the median sold price and may indicate seller expectations are higher than recent transaction levels; pricing friction could persist until listings align with realized comps.
  4. The median days on market is 91 days, which points to slower sales velocity and longer marketing windows for sellers; slower sales velocity may require more targeted pricing or concessions to accelerate transactions.
  5. Interest rate pressure is reported as elevated with current 30-year fixed rates averaging 6.8%, which may constrain affordability and damp buyer urgency; elevated interest rate pressure suggests financing sensitivity should be a core consideration for pricing and buyer qualification.
