Key Findings

  1. median sold price: 125,500 — Recent transaction pricing centers around this value, which should be treated as the primary market signal for valuation and underwriting; given the wide gap versus the median listing price, sellers may need to align expectations to achieve timely closings. balanced to slightly seller-leaning
  2. median days on market: 400 — Extended days on market point to slower sales velocity; this suggests buyers are more selective and financing or pricing friction may be prolonging transactions, so sellers and listing agents should prioritize targeted marketing and condition/price adjustments to reduce time to contract.
  3. median price per square foot: 142 — This per-square-foot benchmark provides a consistent basis for comparing comps and guiding price adjustments; use it for quick screening of offers and renovation ROI scenarios rather than relying solely on listing price spreads.
  4. interest rate pressure: elevated and property rate comparison: Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.63% — Elevated rate pressure is constraining affordability and pushing buyers toward more conservative bids; consider offering rate-buydown incentives, seller concessions, or flexible financing conversations to preserve buyer pool while pricing remains supported by recent solds.
