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 35/100, supply score 49, homes go under contract 0.9% faster than the US median, at 242% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $94K, +3.0% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 47.3% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −10.0% YoY. inventory, −0.3% YoY, is the number to watch.
