Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the median sold price of $174,000, which reflects recent transaction activity and suggests that actual market value is materially lower than asking benchmarks; this gap may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and completed sales.
  2. The median listing price is $240,000 while the median sold price is $174,000, which suggests a meaningful spread between asking and realized prices and may indicate sellers are pricing above what buyers are completing on in the current cycle. balanced but cautious price discovery.
  3. The median days on market is 244, signifying slower sales velocity and extended time to transact that may reflect buyer caution or tighter credit conditions; elevated interest rate pressure is present and may be contributing to the longer marketing times.
  4. Market temperature is neutral with price year-over-year trend reported as down and rent year-over-year trend reported as up; this combination suggests a market where sale prices are softening while rental demand and rents show modest strength, so owners and investors should weigh rental upside against subdued sale-price momentum.
