Key Findings

  1. median sold price 275,500 is the primary indicator of recent market value and completed transactions in ZIP 49504; this represents the most reliable snapshot of what buyers actually paid and should be prioritized over asking prices when setting comps or pricing offers.
  2. The median listing price 272,450 sits close to the median sold price, which suggests seller expectations are broadly in line with recent transaction levels and may indicate limited pricing friction between offers and closed deals.
  3. The median days on market 256 signals slower sales velocity and extended marketing periods; this long time-to-contract may indicate lower liquidity and suggests buyers currently have more negotiation room than in faster-turning markets.
  4. With median market rent 1,495 and median price per square foot 180 alongside a rent year-over-year trend that is up, rental demand appears supportive; however, elevated interest rate pressure (rates ~6.53%–6.69%) is elevated and may constrain buyer affordability and dampen near-term demand.
