Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market value indicator, the median sold price, is 160,000, which anchors recent transaction activity and appears to reflect moderate price appreciation given the up price year-over-year trend.

  2. The median listing price is 169,900, exceeding the median sold price of 160,000, which suggests pricing friction between seller expectations and completed transactions and may indicate selective negotiation room for buyers.

  3. Liquidity appears slower: the median days on market is 288, a duration that suggests slower sales velocity despite the market temperature being described as neutral, so sellers should expect longer listing periods while buyers may exercise patience.

  4. Market fundamentals show support for both owners and investors: the median price per square foot is 142, median market rent is 1,370, rent trends are up, and prevailing 30-year fixed mortgage rates average 6.38%, with moderate interest rate pressure—factors that imply steady rental demand but cautious financing conditions.
