Context

There are currently 68 homes for sale in the ZIP with 40 new listings as of early July 2026. The median time on market of 24 days suggests steady buyer interest, though the modest 0.5% annual appreciation indicates a market moving sideways rather than climbing. About 16.2% of listings have seen price reductions, which is worth monitoring. For sellers, the relatively quick sale pace is positive, but moderate appreciation and some price cuts suggest this is a balanced market where pricing strategy matters.
