Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator, median sold price, is $188,000, which anchors market value for recent transactions and aligns with a down price year-over-year trend—this suggests realized transaction prices are softening compared with prior periods.
  2. The median listing price is $322,450, producing a sizable spread versus the median sold price that may indicate pricing friction and that seller expectations are generally higher than recent transaction levels.
  3. The median days on market is 332, reflecting slower sales velocity and longer holding periods; combined with a neutral market temperature, this appears to be a balanced market with measured liquidity rather than a clearly one-sided environment.
  4. Median market rent is $1,150 while interest rate pressure is elevated (current 30-year fixed rates averaging 6.63%), which may constrain buyer affordability and reinforce slower turnover in the near term.
