Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, median sold price, is $275,000, which serves as the best representation of realized market value and recent transaction activity; the gap between the median listing price of $316,900 and the median sold price suggests pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent sale levels, so well-priced homes are likely to outperform other listings. pricing gap

  2. The median days on market is 269, indicating slower sales velocity and extended marketing timelines; this appears to reflect a market that requires more time to transact rather than immediate turnover, which may favor buyers with patience or sellers who price competitively. slower sales velocity

  3. The market shows underlying appreciation signals: the median price per square foot is $180 and the year-over-year price trend is up, while the overall market temperature is classified as neutral, suggesting balanced conditions with selective pockets of strength—particularly at entry-level price points. up

  4. Rental fundamentals remain supportive with a median market rent of $1,495 and a rent year-over-year trend that is up; however, elevated interest rate pressure is present and may constrain buyer affordability and transaction pace in the near term. elevated interest rate pressure

Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the 169,000 median sold price, which represents realized value in recent transactions and suggests pricing is tracking just below the 177,400 median listing price — this gap may indicate listing-to-sale negotiation pressure and moderate pricing friction.

  2. With a 169,000 median sold price and a median days on market of 412, sales velocity appears slower than typical market turnover, which may indicate slower transaction volume despite a generally balanced market temperature.

  3. The 169,000 median sold price combined with a median price per square foot of 146 and a median market rent of 1,525 suggests entry-level and value segments are supporting rent-growth trends; note that rent is up year-over-year while price momentum is also up, indicating continued demand for income-oriented purchases.

  4. Liquidity and underwriting caution: the market temperature is neutral and interest rate pressure is elevated, so even though the 169,000 median sold price points to stable-to-rising values, elevated financing costs may compress buyer purchasing power and extend time-to-contract; sellers should consider pricing and concession strategies to align with current cost-of-credit conditions.
