Key Findings

1. 185,340 is the primary indicator of recent market value as the median sold price; given this representative recent sale level and a median days on market of 106, the market appears to be experiencing moderate transaction velocity rather than rapid turnover.
2. The relationship between asking and transaction levels shows the median listing price of 161,250 sitting below the median sold price of 185,340, which may indicate pricing dispersion or sample skew between current seller expectations and recently completed transactions.
3. Inventory conditions show elevated inventory relative to sales activity, which combined with the longer median days on market suggests pricing friction that may require competitive pricing or concessions to achieve accepted offers.
4. Macro and rental context: year-over-year prices are up (up), rent is down (down), and interest rate pressure is moderate with local 30‑year fixed mortgage rates reported at 6.49% versus 5.99% earlier in 2026; these factors suggest stable-to-slightly-appreciating prices but with caution for buyers and investors sensitive to financing costs.
