Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood’s primary market signal is the median sold price of 139,000, which anchors current market value and suggests recent transactions are occurring well below the median listing price of 189,500, indicating a meaningful listing-to-sale pricing gap that may reflect seller expectations ahead of realized transaction prices.
  2. Liquidity appears muted on pace: the median days on market of 212 points to slower sales velocity and, combined with relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample, may indicate pricing friction rather than rapid turnover.
  3. Pricing per unit area is moderate for the ZIP: the median price per square foot is 144, which provides a consistent valuation baseline for underwriting and comparables when assessing both single-family residential and condominium opportunities.
  4. Market context shows broader directional strength but balanced conditions: year-over-year price trend is up, year-over-year rent trend is up, the market temperature is neutral, and interest rate pressure is moderate; together these signals suggest cautious seller leverage with continued rent-driven support for valuation.
