Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market value indicator is the median sold price: $882,500, which signals high transaction-level valuations and, coupled with a hot market, suggests sellers are capturing premium pricing even as sales pace shows strain (see median days on market).
  2. There is a pronounced divergence between the median listing price: $414,450 and the median sold price: $882,500; this condition appears to reflect aggressive seller expectations versus realized transaction prices and may indicate pricing friction that market participants should monitor rather than assume uniform upward appreciation across all segments.
  3. Rental fundamentals are strengthening—median market rent: $2,250 is rising in a market with a rent year-over-year trend: up—supporting demand for SFR and condo rentals and suggesting potential upside for investors focused on income strategies, subject to capital cost considerations.
  4. Liquidity signals are mixed: the sample indicates relatively constrained active supply alongside slow turnover as shown by median days on market: 303; this combination may indicate slower sales velocity despite a price year-over-year trend: up and an overall market temperature: hot, so sellers and buyers should price and time listings with caution given moderate interest rate pressure.
