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 37/100, supply score 63, homes go under contract 9.0% faster than the US median, at 112% of US prices. See the sale evidence ↓
Tenant economics are mixed. Median household income $133K, −1.5% YoY (ZIP); renters hold 22.1% of ZIP households. See the people evidence ↓

What would change this read: the median listing price is −0.7% YoY. inventory, +15.2% YoY, is the number to watch.
