Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, median sold price of 74,500, points to the current transaction-level market value and suggests modest price levels for recently closed SFR and condo sales within the analyzed sample; representative recent sale may better reflect buyer-paid prices than asking-price signals.
  2. Liquidity appears slow when framed by a median days on market of 614, which suggests protracted time-to-contract and slower sales velocity rather than rapid turnover; this extended marketing time may indicate pricing friction or buyer-seller negotiation lag in the current environment.
  3. Pricing context shows a median price per square foot of 65.28 and a median market rent of 995, while rent trends are up, indicating rising rental demand that could support investment interest even as sale-side transactions remain measured.
  4. Macro and financing context: price year-over-year trend is up and market temperature is neutral, but interest rate pressure is elevated with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates at approximately 6.65%, about 0.56% higher than the 6.09% lows in February 2026, which may restrain buyer affordability and contribute to the observed slower transaction pace.
