Market Read

A tight-supply market with no rental pool to price against. Demand is visible here; the rent math is not.

Demand outpaces supply. Hotness 61/100, supply score 84, homes go under contract 24.1% faster than the US median, at 177% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $109K, +2.3% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 56.6% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −1.0% YoY. inventory, −18.2% YoY, is the number to watch.

Computed from this page's data: median listing $729,334 (Realtor). The listing and rental pools are separate samples, not the same homes priced two ways, so the ratios describe the market rather than any one property. Ratios with reasons, not a recommendation to buy.
