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 29/100, supply score 38, homes go under contract 5.6% slower than the US median, at 103% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $82K, +3.9% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 44.0% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −4.7% YoY. inventory, +3.3% YoY, is the number to watch.
