Key Findings
- The neighborhood's representative recent sale is 260,000 (median sold price), and with a median days on market of 375 this points to a market where completed transactions are taking longer to close, suggesting slower sales velocity rather than rapid turnover.
- The median listing price is 262,500, only marginally above the median sold price, which may indicate modest seller expectation friction and aligns with a balanced market temperature rather than a pronounced seller advantage.
- Liquidity appears subdued given the sample's relationship between active supply and sales; combined with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.53%, the market faces elevated interest rate pressure that may be constraining buyer purchasing power.
- The rental side shows strength: median market rent is 895 and rent year-over-year trend is up, indicating rising rental demand that may support buy-to-rent strategies or investor interest in cash-flow-oriented SFR and condo opportunities.
