Key Findings

  1. The primary market value indicator is the median sold price of $87,000, which reflects recent transaction activity and suggests modest price levels for SFR and condo sales in 38106; up year-over-year price momentum supports cautious optimism.
  2. There is a persistent spread between the median listing price of $94,900 and the median sold price of $87,000, which may indicate seller pricing expectations exceed recent transaction levels and could create pricing friction for some listings; neutral market temperature suggests this gap is not driving one-sided market dynamics.
  3. Liquidity appears slow based on the median days on market of 298, which points to extended listing periods and slower sales velocity for homes that do transact; combined with elevated interest rate pressure, this may prolong time-to-contract for price-sensitive buyers — elevated interest rate pressure is present.
  4. Inventory sampled in the dataset shows elevated inventory relative to sales activity, which may be contributing to the longer days on market and the listing-to-sale price gap; landlords and investors should note the median market rent of $1,000 and the median price per square foot of $72.68 when modeling rent/price comparisons, while monitoring the up rent year-over-year trend for income potential.
