Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price of $681,000, which reflects recent completed transactions and supports ongoing moderate price appreciation in this ZIP code; upward price momentum is also indicated by local price trends.
  2. The median listing price sits at $644,900, creating a visible premium in realized transaction values versus asking levels that may indicate sellers are achieving higher final prices than initial list expectations; this pricing gap suggests strong seller outcomes in executed deals.
  3. Liquidity appears healthy: the median days on market is 17, which suggests relatively brisk turnover and that properties are not lingering long in market despite elevated interest rate pressure.
  4. Market context shows a hot market temperature with price year-over-year trend up and rent year-over-year trend flat; however, elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) may be creating a lock-in effect for existing owners and could moderate supply response even as buyer interest remains consistent.
