What this means for you
Buying here

measured against this ZIP's own 22-year history. Days on market sit at the
60th percentile of everything this ZIP has ever done.
Selling here
The data says: price at market; expect near-list offers. That comes from how 85388 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.
