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 54/100, supply score 75, homes go under contract 18.2% faster than the US median, at 517% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $168K, +1.3% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 46.6% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −2.4% YoY. inventory, −4.3% YoY, is the number to watch.
