1. Average Sale Price

  • 2024: $347,006

  • 2023: $311,648

  • Under $200,000: A mix of cash, conventional, FHA, and seller carry financing dominated this segment.

  • $200,000-$300,000: Conventional loans and FHA loans were most common, reflecting first-time buyer activity.

  • $300,000-$400,000 and Above: Conventional and VA loans were more prominent, with fewer cash buyers as prices increased.

Price Ranges and Activity

The real estate market remained active across all price ranges, with particularly strong activity in the $200,000–$400,000 range. This "sweet spot" caters to the largest buyer pool and saw consistent demand in both 2023 and 2024.
