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 45/100, supply score 65, homes go under contract 6.9% faster than the US median, at 562% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $118K, +2.1% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 70.7% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +4.2% YoY. inventory, −1.3% YoY, is the number to watch.
