Market snapshot (past 30 days)
Sales and prices: Redfin’s most recent monthly snapshot (January 2026) puts the median sold price near $320K with 57 homes sold. Zillow’s Home Value Index for 53142 shows a typical home value around $308K as of late January, up about 5.5% over the last year. Different methodologies can move these figures, but directionally the story is similar: values are holding up and still above last year.
Inventory and pace: Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard shows the median sale price near $289.9K and a sale-to-list ratio around 100% in December 2025, suggesting well-priced homes can still command close-to-ask outcomes. That said, the days-on-market metrics are elevated versus last year on some trackers, and the number of actives varies depending on whether condos, new builds, and pending listings are included.
What to watch next
As spring approaches, keep an eye on (1) new listing flow and price cuts, (2) how quickly mid-$300K homes go pending, and (3) whether rental availability loosens. If you are selling, tight presentation and pre-list repairs still matter when buyers have more time to compare options.
What’s for sale nearby (no addresses)
