Market snapshot
On the rental side, Realtor.com lists median rent near $2,020 per month. Its snapshot also indicates year-over-year rent easing while sale prices are higher. For buyers, the current mix of single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties can shift leverage based on condition, parking, and how smoothly a home can appraise and close. For sellers, the active-listing mix may influence pricing strategy—especially where similar homes are competing for the same pool of shoppers.
Development watch
Local officials are considering a plan to sell the vacant Bassick High School site for redevelopment. The concept includes converting the historic school building into apartments and adding new residential structures, which could add notable supply if it clears the remaining review and vote steps.
