Key Findings

  1. median sold price: 179,900 — This figure represents the most reliable indicator of recent transactional value in 15235; given the market temperature is neutral, the median sold price suggests a broadly balanced pricing environment rather than a rapidly appreciating or collapsing market.
  2. median days on market: 250 — The extended median days on market points to slower sales velocity and notable pricing friction; this slower turnover may indicate that buyers are selective and that sellers should expect longer marketing periods before achieving a representative recent sale.
  3. median listing price: 181,200 — The proximity of the median listing price to the median sold price implies limited gap between seller expectations and achieved prices, which may mean modest negotiation windows for sellers and steady price achievement in completed transactions.
  4. median market rent: 1,395 and interest-rate context (current 30-year averages ~6.36% with elevated interest rate pressure) — Rental demand appears supportive (rent year-over-year trend: up), making buy-to-rent scenarios viable for investors who can withstand elevated financing costs; overall price year-over-year trend is up, reinforcing modest appreciation despite financing headwinds.
