In Zillow’s 2026-06 county observation, median home value is $353,723 and median asking rent is $1,488, with a supplied 5.05% gross yield before expenses. The supplied Zillow annual price change is positive. That is a screening yield, not a cash-flow result. The separately dated 2025 FHFA repeat-transaction HPI rose 2.93%; it confirms direction but is an index rather than a home value and cannot be blended with Zillow into one growth rate. Operators able to validate property-level costs should investigate; buyers relying on rapid resale or thin expense buffers should be cautious.
Market rent is measured asking rent, whereas HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $1,464 is a payment standard, not evidence of achievable rent; no yield is inferred from FMR. The provided effective property-tax rate is 0.90%, with median annual tax of $2,629, so gross yield must absorb taxes before insurance, repairs, management, vacancy, financing or flood mitigation. The record does not publish those costs, lease-up performance, rent distribution or submarket comparables; it therefore cannot establish net yield or property-level affordability.
Realtor.com MLS evidence shows 1,157 active listings, a measure of visible supply, and a 53-day median marketing time. Its price-reduced share signals seller concessions, while its listing prices remain asking prices—not closed sales or stand-alone proof of buyer demand. Tax-return migration recorded a net outflow of 801, and inbound movers reported lower average AGI than outbound movers. Meanwhile, 424 investor purchases out of 7,694 total purchases indicate some non-owner competition but not its bidding behavior. QCEW annual covered workplace jobs were nearly flat; education and health services is the largest disclosed private supersector, not the entire county economy.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard; the modeled annual climate-loss ratio is 0.10% of building value, not a parcel loss estimate. Address-level review should cover flood zone, insurance, deductible, drainage and replacement cost; operating insurance is not published. Obtain closed-sale and rent comps, tax bills, utility and repair histories, flood quotes, loan terms, vacancy and tenant-income evidence. These determine whether gross yield survives carrying costs and MLS conditions support an exit.
