Key Findings
- The primary market signal is the median sold price of $283,896, which represents the most reliable indicator of realized value in recent transactions and should be prioritized over asking prices when setting offers or comps.
- There is a visible pricing gap between $260,000 median listing price and the $283,896 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction or selective seller success on higher-priced inventory—agents should present recent sold comps to justify ask adjustments.
- Market velocity is subdued: the median days on market is 62, and combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity this suggests slower sales velocity that may afford buyers more negotiation leverage on terms and concessions.
- Macro and demand signals are soft: the price year-over-year trend is down, the market temperature is cold, rent year-over-year trend is down, and interest rate pressure is elevated (current local 30-year rates ~6.6% vs a 6.0% January 2026 average), all of which together suggest caution on upward price assumptions in the near term.
