Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market value indicator, the median sold price 162,000, indicates relatively low transaction prices versus asking expectations and should be treated as the representative recent sale level for valuation and comps.
  2. There is a meaningful pricing gap between the median listing price 337,000 and the median sold price 162,000, which suggests seller expectations exceed realized market values and may create pricing friction that slows deal execution.
  3. Market velocity is constrained: the median days on market 290 points to slower sales velocity and extended time-to-contract, which, combined with a cold market temperature, may require sellers to use price adjustments or concessions to accelerate closings.
  4. Interest rate conditions and rent trends are shaping demand: interest rate pressure elevated is pressuring affordability while median market rent 1,000 with a flat rent year-over-year trend suggests rental income has been stable rather than growing, affecting investor yield expectations.
