Market snapshot (latest available)
Closed-sale trend: Redfin’s ZIP-level trend for January 2026 puts the median sale price around $113K and notes faster timelines and fewer homes sold than last year. If you’re selling, that combination often rewards sharp pricing and good presentation (clean, repaired, and staged), because buyers can still be picky when more options hit.
