Market Heat
Price here is driven by condition and vintage, not by a single product type. With a median build year of 1992 and stock stretching from 1940 all the way to 2024, the median sits at $225,000, and what you pay above or below that is largely a function of how much updating a given home has already absorbed. The median of roughly $146 per square foot on about 1,540 square feet tells you this is a spread-out market where two homes at similar size can sell for very different numbers.
The current posture is soft. Prices are down 12.5% year over year, and the median home is taking about 45 days to sell. For a buyer, that combination means room to negotiate and time to do diligence without being rushed. For a seller, it means condition and pricing discipline carry the day — a heat score of 60 says there is real activity, but nothing about this market rewards wishful list prices.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 11 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($225K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($257K) IS the -12.5% one-year change.

A condition-driven market
The wide year-built range is the single most important thing to understand here. When homes from 1940 sit near homes from 2024, the median price of $225,000 is a midpoint across very different assets, not a going rate for any one of them. Buyers should expect to underwrite each home on its own systems, roof, and updates rather than assuming the median applies to what they are touring.
A homestead share of about 51% suggests a roughly even split between owner-occupied homes and everything else, which is worth noting for anyone weighing long-term ownership against rental exposure. Combined with a 45-day median time on market, the practical read is that well-prepared listings move at a measured pace and buyers have the leverage that comes with softening prices.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this varied, the median tells you almost nothing about the specific house in front of you. We price and evaluate on condition, vintage, and square footage rather than the headline number, and in a market down 12.5% year over year with homes taking about 45 days to clear, that discipline is what protects both a buyer's offer and a seller's net.
