Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market value is represented by the median sold price of 92,500, which reflects recent transaction activity; the down price year-over-year trend suggests a softening price environment.
  2. The median listing price of 100,000 sits above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and completed sales in the current market.
  3. Liquidity appears brisk given the median days on market of 5, while the market temperature being neutral suggests that quick turnover is occurring within a relatively balanced transaction pace.
  4. Rental and financing context: the median market rent of 950 and median price per square foot of 87.12, combined with elevated interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging approximately 6.77%), indicate financing costs are a headwind and may cap near-term price upside.
