Market snapshot
Pricing: The big picture is that values look modestly higher than a year ago on Zillow, while closed-sale medians on Redfin can swing more month to month. If you’re tracking your own neighborhood, watch the mix of homes selling (starter homes vs. newer builds vs. rural properties) since that can move the median quickly in a smaller ZIP.
Inventory: Zillow reports 24 homes for sale as of its latest ZIP update (January 31, 2026), while Realtor.com shows a larger active pool on its search view. That gap usually comes from different counting methods and timing, but both point to a market where individual listings still matter a lot.
Time to sell: Redfin’s days-on-market trend is higher than last year in its January 2026 view, suggesting buyers are taking a bit more time (and sellers may need sharper pricing, better photos, or small repairs to stand out).
Rentals: Realtor.com’s ZIP market view indicates only a couple of rentals showing at the last update, which can keep pressure on rents and limit options for would-be buyers who are waiting for rates or prices to improve.
What’s for sale nearby (no addresses)
- Move-in-ready single-family homes: Many current listings cluster in the mid-$200Ks to low-$300Ks range, often 3-bedroom layouts.
- Larger homes and rural-leaning options: A smaller set of listings pushes into the $400Ks, typically tied to more square footage, newer finishes, or more land.
- Land and build opportunities: Active searches also show vacant lots and small-acreage parcels, which can be attractive if you are comparing building costs vs. buying existing.
