Key Findings

  1. median sold price is the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity; current market signals indicate price stabilization with a slight downward trajectory, so recent closed transactions should be treated as the best reflection of value rather than asking prices. neutral market temperature and a documented down price year-over-year trend support cautious pricing assumptions.
  2. median listing price 385,000 sits above recent realized transaction levels (based on sample sales behavior), which suggests a pricing gap that may require concessions or time to close — combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity this appears to be lengthening time-to-contract and creating pricing friction. down rent year-over-year trend reinforces softer demand pressure.
  3. median days on market 117 indicates materially slower sales velocity compared with brisk-market norms and suggests sellers should expect longer marketing periods; price-driven strategies (targeted reductions or buyer incentives) and staging/marketing improvements may be needed to maintain competitiveness. moderate market temperature implies balanced negotiation leverage rather than one-sided market power.
  4. median market rent 1,380 and median price per square foot 247 together reflect softer rental performance and moderate valuation per area; with elevated interest rate pressure and mortgage rates averaging between 6.4% and 6.8%, investors and owners should plan for longer hold periods or increased concessions when underwriting acquisitions or leasing assumptions.
