Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's market value and recent transaction activity center on a median sold price of 149,500, which serves as the most reliable indicator of realized pricing versus asking expectations; given the median listing price of 146,950, this suggests recent sales are tracking at or slightly above prevailing list levels and may indicate limited pricing friction. up
  2. Liquidity appears measured: the median days on market of 49 points to moderate sales velocity rather than rapid turnover, which may indicate pricing friction for marginal listings and suggests buyers are taking longer to transact under current conditions. moderate
  3. Market strength remains positive on pricing: the price year-over-year trend is up and the local market temperature is reported as hot, signaling continued upward pressure on values despite longer marketing times for some properties. up
  4. Financing and demand context is mixed: interest rate pressure is elevated (30-year fixed rates around 6.75%–6.91%), which may constrain some buyer purchasing power even as rents (median market rent of 1,395) show a rent year-over-year trend that is flat, supporting demand from renters but limiting near-term appreciation acceleration. elevated
