Key Findings

  1. median sold price: $199,000 — this is the primary indicator of market value and recent transactions; with the price year-over-year trend reported as up, recent sales suggest moderate appreciation and support a seller-leaning market stance (high/medium confidence).
  2. median listing price: $244,000 — the gap between asking and realized values points to pricing friction and elevated seller expectations; combined with a median days on market: 284, this appears to reflect slower sales velocity rather than immediate market clearance, and sellers should expect extended marketing timeframes (slow).
  3. Inventory context: elevated supply relative to sales activity — sample data indicates elevated inventory relative to recent sales, which may indicate excess supply pressure on certain segments; given the reported market temperature as neutral, this balance suggests selective buyer interest and no widespread bidding pressure.
  4. Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates: 6.36% and interest rate pressure: moderate — financing costs remain a meaningful constraint on buyer purchasing power; with median market rent: $1,400 and rent year-over-year trend reported as flat, landlords and investors should weigh financing affordability against stable rent fundamentals before transacting.
