A genuinely affordable median sale price

Redfin cited a $262,000 median sale price for the most recent month, up 7.1% year over year -- below the national median and below several sibling markets in this batch.

Price per square foot rose faster than the overall median

Median sale price per square foot was $192, up 23.5% year over year -- a notably larger increase than the 7.1% overall median-price gain, a real, disclosed divergence between the two measures worth understanding rather than assuming they move in lockstep.

A moderately competitive, not frenzied, market

Redfin's competitiveness score for West Columbia is 61 out of 100, with homes selling in around 50 days -- moderately competitive, giving buyers more room to negotiate than in a hotter market.
