Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's most reliable value signal is the 165,000 median sold price, which indicates a representative recent sale level and suggests pricing that buyers are willing to complete transactions at; given the neutral market temperature, sellers should set offers near this level to avoid extended time on market.

  2. There is a noticeable spread between the 159,150 median listing price and the median sold price, which may indicate some listing-side optimism or pricing friction that sellers should address by aligning expectations with recent closed sales.

  3. Slower sales velocity is evident from a 281 median days on market, which appears to reflect elongated time to transact and suggests sellers may need stronger pricing, staging, or concessions to improve liquidity in a neutral market.

  4. Local price and rent trends are constructive for investors: price year-over-year is up and rent year-over-year is up, while interest rate pressure is elevated (current comparable 30-year fixed mortgage rate 6.30%), so prospective investors should underwrite deals using conservative financing assumptions and factor in rising rents when modeling cash flow.
