Key Findings

  1. median sold price is not available in the provided metrics, so transaction-based market value cannot be directly stated here; this absence may reflect limited closed-sale reporting in the sample and suggests relying on nearby transaction data or requesting full MLS sold records for precise valuation.
  2. median listing price of 425,000 indicates current seller expectations and, combined with the sample's elevated inventory relative to sales activity, may signal pricing friction; consider positioning offers with market-informed concessions or appraisal contingencies to bridge potential gaps.
  3. median days on market of 137 points to slower sales velocity and reduced liquidity compared with faster-moving markets, which may require longer marketing windows or more aggressive pricing to achieve timely closings; plan for extended holding costs and staged marketing spend.
  4. median market rent of 1,973 and a rent year-over-year trend of down suggest softening rental rates even as demand remains referenced in background context, so investors should be cautious projecting rental income growth and stress-test underwriting against flat or declining rent assumptions while noting median price per square foot of 212 for unit-level valuation comparisons.
