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 55/100, supply score 65, homes go under contract 10.0% faster than the US median, at 76% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $69K, +6.2% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 30.9% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −3.4% YoY. inventory, −7.5% YoY, is the number to watch.
