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 64/100, supply score 84, homes go under contract 25.3% faster than the US median, at 140% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $91K, +4.0% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 45.9% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −3.1% YoY. inventory, −4.2% YoY, is the number to watch.
