Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
-
The neighborhood's primary market value based on recent transactions is median sold price 196,000, and the price year-over-year trend down indicates transactional prices are softer than asking prices.
-
There is a significant spread between median listing price 284,500 and median sold price 196,000, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent sale realizations.
-
Liquidity appears slow: median days on market 395 signals slower sales velocity and may reflect extended negotiation timelines or selective buyer interest rather than rapid turnover.
-
Rental fundamentals show median market rent 1,000 with rent year-over-year trend up, while interest rate pressure described as moderate and a neutral market temperature suggest balanced conditions where rental strength could attract investor interest despite softer sale prices.
