Every number below comes from recorded sales, not sentiment.
Right now this is a strong buyer's market, split down the middle: sharply priced homes get bid up while the rest sit.
Buyers hold real leverage here right now. Homes sit longer than this ZIP's own norm and sellers are conceding more than they usually do.

bar is the decade that defines this neighborhood. Age tells you what to inspect: a 1970s ZIP
means original plumbing and panels are still out there, while a 2020s ZIP is mostly

What this means for you
Buying here
Take your time and negotiate. The data supports it. Leverage score 82 out of 100,
measured against this ZIP's own 22-year history. Days on market sit at the
90th percentile of everything this ZIP has ever done.
Selling here
The data says: underprice to spark bidding (over-list market). That comes from how 85353 buyers
are actually behaving this quarter, not a rule of thumb.
This is the ZIP. Your street tells its own story.
I run this same analysis at the subdivision and
size-band level before any client of mine lists or offers.
