Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the $118,000 median sold price, shows realized transaction values below asking levels (median listing price $130,000), which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and recent sale prices; exercise caution when pricing new listings.
  2. The price year-over-year trend is up, supported by a $104 median price per square foot that underpins current valuation levels and suggests continued modest appreciation in unit pricing; up.
  3. The 384 median days on market signals slower sales velocity and extended marketing periods, while the market temperature is neutral, which together suggest balanced liquidity rather than a rapid turnover environment; neutral market temperature.
  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated (current 30-year fixed rates averaging 6.6%), which may constrain buyer purchasing power even as the rent year-over-year trend is up and the median market rent is $1,340, indicating strengthening rental demand that could support investor interest; elevated interest rate pressure.
