Key Findings

1. median sold price: $143,450 is the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity; with a up price year-over-year trend this suggests recent appreciation, though sales are best weighed against realized sold prices rather than asking prices.

2. median listing price: $154,950 sits above the median sold price, which may indicate a pricing gap where seller expectations exceed transaction outcomes and could require targeted price adjustments to close deals.

3. median days on market: 329 points to slower sales velocity and extended time to transact; this long listing duration suggests pricing friction or longer buyer decision cycles rather than immediate liquidity. slower sales velocity may necessitate stronger marketing, staged pricing, or concessions to improve turnover.

4. Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates: 6.3% combined with an elevated interest rate pressure environment implies financing costs are a headwind for affordability; at the same time, median market rent: $1,175 and a up rent year-over-year trend support steady rental demand for investors considering buy-to-rent strategies.
