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 62/100, supply score 60, homes go under contract 7.0% faster than the US median, at 94% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $67K, +1.9% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 41.1% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +12.2% YoY. inventory, −2.9% YoY, is the number to watch.
