Key Findings

  1. The median sold price is 95,000, which serves as the primary indicator of realized market value and suggests modest downward pressure relative to broader Memphis — down price momentum may warrant conservative seller pricing and buyer contingency planning given current conditions.
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price (88,250) and the median sold price (95,000), which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations differ from recent transaction levels; sellers should consider pricing closer to recent sale benchmarks to improve traction.
  3. Market velocity appears slow based on the median days on market of 306, consistent with a market that may require extended marketing periods and buyer patience; this slower sales velocity, combined with elevated interest rate pressure, suggests agents should plan longer listing campaigns and emphasize financing flexibility.
  4. Local rent trends are positive with median market rent at 995 and rent year-over-year trend showing up, while borrowing conditions reflect elevated pressure with average 30-year rates around 6.53%; investors should weigh improving rent dynamics against higher financing costs when assessing near-term returns.
