With a median build year of 1963 and a median footprint of 1,468 square feet, these are modest, mid-century houses. That age is the story: two homes at the same address size can trade far apart depending on roof, systems, and whether the interior has been touched. Because the only figure you can hang your hat on is the $265,000 median, judge each house on its own condition rather than assuming a neighborhood 'going rate.'

The homestead share above 60% points to a neighborhood held by long-term owners, which keeps turnover low and inventory tight — the 4 active listings confirm that. The market heat score of 53 and 5-day median days on market together describe a place that moves quickly when priced right but is not overheated. The 151% gain since 2012 reflects the long arc of this area; the 15.9% pullback over the past year reflects where it sits today, and both are context, not a forecast.

In a neighborhood this thin on inventory and this driven by condition, the value is in reading each individual house — what the age of the systems means, what an update is actually worth, and how to price against a moving median rather than last year's comps. We watch the 4-listing pipeline daily and can get you in front of a well-priced house before the 5-day clock runs out, or, on the sell side, position an older home honestly so it does not sit.
