Key Findings

  1. The primary market-value indicator is the median sold price: 215,500, which represents the most direct signal of recent transaction activity and should be prioritized over listing prices when valuing properties in ZIP 79936 (representative recent sale).
  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price (280,000) and the median sold price (215,500), which may indicate pricing friction or seller expectations exceeding recent transaction levels and suggests caution when positioning new listings.
  3. Market velocity appears slower based on a median days on market of 148, consistent with elevated inventory relative to sales in the analyzed sample; this suggests moderate sales velocity and that sellers may need longer exposure or pricing adjustments to reach buyers.
  4. Fundamental market drivers show price and rent trends moving up (price year-over-year trend: up; rent year-over-year trend: up) while interest rate pressure remains elevated (elevated); combined with a median price per square foot of 157 and median market rent of 1,500, this points to steady demand fundamentals but higher financing headwinds that may temper transaction volume.
