- Pricing vs. list: Recent sales averaged roughly 1% under list price (Redfin).
- Inventory to browse: About 92 active listings on Zillow, alongside a citywide “typical value” of $260,089 (data through 12/31/2025).
Market snapshot
The data suggests a pace where buyers have enough time to compare options, and sellers may need to stay realistic on pricing and preparation. In a “somewhat competitive” setting, the best outcomes often show up when the home’s key features are clear and the major “risk items” are already addressed, because buyers commonly focus on details like condition and large-ticket systems.
What’s for sale to watch
- Entry-level homes and smaller ranches in the lower-to-mid $100Ks–$200Ks range.
- Larger, updated homes moving into the $400Ks–$500Ks+ tier.
- Land and lake-adjacent parcels, where utilities, driveway access, and shoreline rules can influence total cost.
