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 17/100, supply score 21, homes go under contract 21.0% slower than the US median, at 64% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $63K, +2.9% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 40.6% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −3.6% YoY. inventory, +8.0% YoY, is the number to watch.
