Key Findings

  1. median sold price: 133,000 is the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity; with this representative recent sale, the market appears to be balanced but shows a gap between asking and realized prices since the median listing price (191,950) is notably higher than the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and closed transactions.
  2. median days on market: 373 points to slower sales velocity and suggests more time is required to convert listings into closed sales; this prolonged marketing period may indicate the need for clearer pricing strategies or targeted buyer incentives to accelerate transactions (slower sales).
  3. price year-over-year trend: up while the market temperature remains neutral, indicating modest upward pressure on values without a pronounced seller advantage; this combination suggests a cautiously appreciating market where sellers may see gains but transaction conditions remain balanced (neutral market temperature).
  4. median market rent: 1,150 combined with a rent year-over-year trend of up signals strengthening rental demand, and with interest rate pressure described as moderate, landlords may find opportunities for rent growth even as mortgage costs modestly impact buyer affordability.
