Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the $174,500 median sold price, which reflects recent transaction activity and, when viewed alongside a rising price year-over-year trend, suggests price growth momentum in the neighborhood.

  2. There is a noticeable disconnect between the $149,900 median listing price and the $174,500 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction where final sale outcomes are stronger than asking expectations and could benefit sellers who price competitively; monitor listing-to-sale gaps for negotiation leverage.

  3. A prolonged 199 days median days on market points to slower sales velocity despite higher sold prices, implying that transactions are taking longer to close and buyers may be selective; extended time to contract may increase carrying costs for sellers and requires realistic pricing and marketing strategies.

  4. Inventory conditions in the analyzed sample appear as a relatively constrained active supply versus recent sales, which, combined with a neutral market temperature, suggests a balanced-to-seller-leaning environment but not an overheated market; given moderate interest rate pressure and rents showing a year-over-year decline alongside a $1,375 median market rent, investors should weigh longer vacancy or rent softening risks before acquisition.
