Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, the median sold price of 390,000, signals current transaction-level value and should be treated as the representative recent sale benchmark for pricing decisions.
  2. Despite a median listing price of 381,950, the higher median sold price (390,000) suggests pricing friction where final sale outcomes are modestly above asking; sellers should expect negotiation but may still achieve sale prices near recent transactions, and buyers should underwrite to the confirmed sale level. flat price trend and a median days on market of 99 indicate slower sales velocity and a transition toward a more balanced market rather than rapid turnover.
  3. Liquidity appears relatively constrained in the analyzed sample, which may support price stability around the median sold price of 390,000; this constrained active supply appears to be contributing to balanced bargaining power rather than sharp price acceleration or collapse. neutral market temperature
  4. Rising rental demand (the median market rent is 1,495 and rent year-over-year trend is up) combined with median price per square foot of 236 supports continued investor and renter interest, but elevated interest rate pressure and current mortgage costs (30-year fixed ~6.66%, which is 0.68% higher than the 5.98% market low observed in February 2026) may compress buying power and slow transaction volume in the near term.
