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 63/100, supply score 45, homes go under contract 0.3% slower than the US median, at 50% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $62K, +2.8% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 35.3% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +22.2% YoY. inventory, −6.2% YoY, is the number to watch.
