Key Findings

  1. $240,000 median sold price is the primary indicator of recent transaction value in this ZIP and reflects actual market outcomes rather than asking prices; given the price year-over-year trend is down, recent transactions suggest softening in realized sale values.
  2. There is a notable spread between the $325,700 median listing price and the $240,000 median sold price, which may indicate seller price expectations exceeding recent transaction levels and introduces pricing friction into negotiations.
  3. The 182 median days on market points to slower sales velocity and reduced transaction liquidity; combined with the neutral market temperature, this appears to be a market with more time-to-contract and moderate buyer leverage rather than rapid turnover.
  4. The $1,825 median market rent alongside a rent year-over-year trend of up suggests rental demand/support is strengthening even as sales values soften; however, with elevated interest rate pressure reported, financing costs may constrain buyer purchasing power and prolong time on market.
