Key Findings

1. median sold price is not reported in the provided dataset; a representative sold-price metric is unavailable which may be due to the small sample of closed transactions in the analyzed data and therefore not available in the dataset.
2. median listing price $539,250 indicates the current asking-price tier for SFR and condo inventory; combined with a up price year-over-year trend and a reported hot market temperature, this suggests sellers are positioned to capture appreciation in many cases, though actual transaction prices are best validated against sold-price data when available.
3. median days on market 143 signals slower sales velocity relative to faster-moving markets and, when paired with the sample's elevated inventory relative to sales activity, may indicate pricing friction or selective buyer activity even as the market temperature reads hot.
4. median market rent $2,000 and a reported up rent year-over-year trend point to strengthening rental demand; with interest rate pressure described as moderate and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging approximately 6.5% in Abilene, this combination suggests investors should weigh rising rent momentum against a stable but elevated financing cost environment.
