Key Findings

  1. The primary market-value indicator is the median sold price 335,000, and when paired with a prolonged median days on market of 349 it points to slower sales velocity in the area; this pattern aligns with a cold market and a down price year-over-year trend.
  2. There is a pronounced gap between the median listing price 435,000 and the median sold price 335,000, which suggests pricing friction and that seller expectations may be above recent transaction levels; sellers should consider aligning offers to achieved sale prices to improve closings. pricing friction
  3. Valuation on a unit basis remains anchored by a median price per square foot of 251, which provides a consistent comparative metric for appraisals and investor screening while transaction volume appears muted—this may indicate moderate transaction volume and longer negotiation cycles.
  4. Rental fundamentals show a median market rent of 2,000 with rent year-over-year trend reported as up, indicating stable to strengthening rental demand; however, elevated interest rate pressure and average local mortgage rates near 6.36% may constrain buyer purchasing power and support continued renter demand. up
