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 65/100, supply score 74, homes go under contract 15.7% faster than the US median, at 41% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $53K, +0.3% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 38.6% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +6.6% YoY. inventory, +6.2% YoY, is the number to watch.
