Key Findings

  1. The market value signal is anchored by the median sold price of 196,000, which should be treated as the primary indicator of realized value and recent transaction activity in 43206.
  2. There is a notable listing-to-sale pricing gap between the median listing price of 279,775 and the median sold price of 196,000, which may indicate persistent seller pricing above recent transaction levels and pricing friction in the market.
  3. Extended selling timelines are evident from the median days on market of 243, which suggests slower sales velocity and more time required to convert listings into closed transactions, even as the market temperature is reported as neutral.
  4. Market fundamentals show mixed, but broadly stable, pressure: year-over-year prices are up and rents are up, while interest rate pressure is moderate and local 30-year fixed rates average approximately 6.53%, suggesting balanced conditions where buyers and sellers may need to be flexible on price and timing.
