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 30/100, supply score 26, homes go under contract 14.4% slower than the US median, at 39% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are strong. Median household income $46K, +2.0% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 42.3% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is +9.6% YoY. inventory, −24.5% YoY, is the number to watch.
