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 39/100, supply score 61, homes go under contract 7.8% faster than the US median, at 119% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $110K, +2.5% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 25.4% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −3.0% YoY. inventory, +15.5% YoY, is the number to watch.
