Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator is the median sold price: $294,500, which signals the representative recent sale level and supports the observation of modest price appreciation with the price year-over-year trend showing up.
  2. There is a notable gap between the median listing price and the median sold price—median listing price $280,000 versus median sold price $294,500—which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations are above recent transaction levels; given the market temperature is neutral, this suggests a balanced negotiation environment rather than a strongly one-sided market.
  3. Liquidity appears slow relative to typical turnover: median days on market 322 points to protracted marketing periods and suggests slower sales velocity, so sellers should plan for extended holding time and buyers may find more room to negotiate on concessions or contingency terms.
  4. Rental dynamics and financing pressures are mixed: median market rent $1,299 is trending down (down), while interest rate pressure is elevated and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are approximately 6.4% to 6.7%, which together may dampen investor appetite and support cautious pricing strategy for new listings.
