Key Findings

1. The most reliable indicator of recent transaction activity is the $158,000 median sold price, which along with a down price year-over-year trend suggests realized values are softening and recent sales are at lower price points than asking.
2. The $235,000 median listing price sits well above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and what buyers are paying in closed transactions.
3. Market velocity appears slow, as shown by a 380 days median days on market; this extended time-to-sale suggests buyers are pacing their decisions and sellers should expect longer marketing periods.
4. Rental demand and rents show strength: the $895 median market rent with a up rent year-over-year trend points to improving cash-flow potential for landlords relative to recent sale performance.
5. Financing pressure is a headwind for affordability and buyer capacity: current local mortgage conditions average 6.53%, consistent with elevated interest rate pressure and likely constraining buyer purchasing power.
