Listing activity

The rental & sale market

Current listings alongside a recent sample: rentals marked rented in the last 90 days, and sold homes first listed in the last 90 days. Counts are added across ZIPs; days on market, asking prices and institutional shares are averages weighted by each ZIP’s listing count. Sample sizes and property mix differ; these columns are not a growth calculation.

“Not combined” marks ZIP-level medians: a median of medians isn’t the market’s median, so they appear only on each ZIP’s page. Missing prices are not zero-dollar listings.

People & supply

Population from the 2024 Census estimates, and new listing activity reported for the 54 ZIP codes. Household income is a median, so it stays on each ZIP’s page.
