Key Findings

1. The primary market value is reflected by the median sold price 290,000, which represents the representative recent sale level and suggests current transaction prices are below asking expectations given the median listing price 327,000; this pricing gap may indicate pricing friction and increased buyer negotiation leverage.

2. With a median sold price 290,000 and a long median days on market 191, the area appears to be experiencing slower sales velocity; the extended marketing time suggests transactions may require more price concessions or patience from sellers and moderated liquidity.

3. The median sold price 290,000 sits alongside a median price per square foot 175 and a median market rent 1,925, which together frame relative valuation for SFR and condo buyers and investors; rent and price trends are both reported down, signaling softening fundamentals rather than isolated listing behavior.

4. The median sold price 290,000 must be viewed in the context of elevated borrowing costs—interest rate pressure is listed as elevated and local 30-year fixed mortgage conditions are noted at 6.3% versus a 5.9% early-2026 norm—which may continue to constrain affordability and buyer purchasing power despite a market temperature described as neutral.

Key Findings

1. The primary indicator, median sold price is 125,500, and coupled with a down price year-over-year trend this reflects recent transaction-level softening in realized values.

2. The gap between the median listing price (129,800) and the median sold price suggests seller expectations are modestly above recent transaction levels, which may indicate pricing friction and greater buyer negotiation power.

3. The median days on market (397) is very long relative to typical market turnover and points to slower sales velocity and extended marketing periods, which may indicate more time required to reach contract terms.

4. Persistent elevated interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.3% versus a 5.9% baseline for early 2026) combined with a median market rent (1,450) that is trending down suggests affordability headwinds for buyers and muted near-term rental upside.
