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 58/100, supply score 81, homes go under contract 20.0% faster than the US median, at 224% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −8.9% YoY. inventory, +3.0% YoY, is the number to watch.
