Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary indicator of market value is the median sold price: $139,400, which — together with a up price year-over-year trend — indicates modest appreciation and that recent transactions set the local valuation benchmark.
  2. Sellers' pricing expectations appear elevated relative to recent transactions: the median listing price is $170,000 while the median sold price is $139,400, which may indicate pricing friction and room for negotiated concessions rather than immediate premium sale outcomes.
  3. Market velocity is slow: the median days on market is 255, which suggests slower sales velocity and, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity in the sample, may lengthen underwriting and holding timelines for sellers and investors.
  4. Income and financing context is mixed: the median market rent is $1,400 and rent year-over-year trend is down, while interest rate pressure is moderate with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates around 6.67%, a combination that may soften short-term rent growth and keep buyer sensitivity to rates elevated.
