Key Findings

  1. The primary market signal is the median sold price $174,500, which establishes recent transaction-based value for the area and suggests pricing is supported despite a lower asking baseline; price is trending up year-over-year, indicating modest upward momentum that sellers can reference when pricing listings.
  2. Liquidity appears restrained with a median days on market 299, which signals slower sales velocity; this longer time on market may indicate pricing friction or buyer selectivity and suggests sellers should expect longer marketing periods unless pricing is aligned with recent sold transactions.
  3. There is a meaningful spread between median listing price $149,900 and the median sold price, which may reflect seller optimism or expired/listing volatility; agents should prioritize comparable sold data in negotiations to bridge the gap and reduce time on market.
  4. Local rent dynamics are supportive of investor interest: median market rent $1,100 is rising alongside a rent year-over-year trend up, but firms should account for elevated interest rate pressure when modeling financing costs, even as the broader market temperature remains neutral.
