Key Findings

  1. The most reliable market signal is the median sold price 184,000, which indicates recent transaction-level value in the ZIP; paired with a higher median listing price 170,450 this suggests some sellers are testing the market while actual closed values remain anchored at the sold-price level upward price trend.
  2. Liquidity appears slow by velocity metrics: the median days on market 230 points to extended marketing periods and pricing friction, which may indicate that sellers need to be selective on pricing to achieve timely closings rather than expect rapid offers.
  3. Supply dynamics show relatively constrained active supply in the sampled dataset, which, together with the median price per square foot 141, suggests pricing power for well-presented SFR and condo listings in desirable submarkets; sellers who align asking prices with recent sold comps are more likely to convert interest to contracts representative recent sale.
  4. Rental and financing context supports cautious investor interest: the median market rent 1,249 is rising alongside a stated rent-year-over-year trend of up, but interestRatePressure is reported as moderate and prevailing 30-year fixed mortgage rates near 6.63%–6.75% may temper leveraged buyer activity, favoring cash or well-capitalized purchasers.
