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 62/100, supply score 71, homes go under contract 13.3% faster than the US median, at 71% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $53K, +1.2% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 52.7% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +3.5% YoY. inventory, −1.1% YoY, is the number to watch.
