Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's median sold price is $103,000, which should be treated as the primary indicator of recent transaction value given the available data and points to a market that is showing downward price movement (down) on a year‑over‑year basis.
  2. There is a notable gap between the median listing price of $139,900 and the median sold price of $103,000, which suggests pricing friction where seller expectations may be higher than recent transaction levels and could require price adjustments to accelerate sales.
  3. Sales velocity appears slow: the median days on market is 292, which combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity suggests slower transaction volume and that sellers may need longer marketing periods to reach agreement at or near asking terms.
  4. Rental fundamentals remain supportive with a median market rent of $1,150 and rent trends indicated as up; however, elevated interest rate pressure and local mortgage conditions (current 30‑year fixed rates near 6.63%) introduce financing sensitivity that may limit buyer pool participation and influence pricing and refinancing dynamics (elevated).
