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 42/100, supply score 62, homes go under contract 10.1% faster than the US median, at 104% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $51K, +7.7% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 75.7% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +2.4% YoY. inventory, +19.1% YoY, is the number to watch.
