Market Read

A market with no active rental pool to price against. The sale-side figures below are the whole picture.

Demand is unremarkable. Hotness 43/100, supply score 52, homes go under contract 3.4% faster than the US median, at 119% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $86K, +2.8% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 33.6% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −2.1% YoY. inventory, −0.4% YoY, is the number to watch.
