Key Findings

1. $335,000 median sold price is the primary market-value signal and represents recent transaction activity; with the price year-over-year trend down, this points to modest softening in realized sale prices.

2. $427,000 median listing price sits above the median sold price of $335,000, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and recent transactions.

3. 352 median days on market points to slower sales velocity and suggests homes are taking longer to transact, which, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity, may indicate weaker liquidity.

4. 30-year fixed mortgage rates of approximately 6.6% compared to 6.0% earlier in 2026 reflect moderate interest rate pressure and, with market temperature neutral, suggest a cautious balance where price stabilization could continue absent stronger upward demand.
