Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood’s primary market indicator, the median sold price is 198,500, which establishes recent transaction-level value and — when compared with the median listing price of 176,200 — suggests sellers are often clearing above asking in at least some completed sales, pointing to localized pricing friction rather than uniform discounting.
  2. With a median days on market of 333, sales velocity appears slow and may indicate prolonged negotiation windows or buyer hesitation; combined with a cold market temperature, this suggests slower transaction momentum and elevated inventory relative to sales activity.
  3. The median price per square foot is 89.21, and the median market rent is 1,300; with rents showing a up trend, rental income dynamics may support investor interest despite slower sales velocity, so consider focusing on cash-flow scenarios and longer holding periods.
  4. Interest rate pressure is moderate and the overall price trend is down, which together imply continued pricing sensitivity; underwriting should assume potential for further near-term price compression and incorporate contingency for extended marketing timelines.
