Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator, 183,500 as the median sold price, anchors local market value and suggests recent transactions are occurring lower than asking levels in the sample neutral market temperature.
  2. The gap between 234,900 median listing price and 183,500 median sold price points to pricing friction where seller expectations exceed realized sale prices and may indicate softening on list-to-sale conversion.
  3. A long median days on market of 297 signals slower sales velocity and reduced liquidity, which, combined with a neutral market temperature and elevated interest rate pressure, suggests transactions may require more time and price concessions.
  4. Strong rental dynamics are evident: median market rent of 1,600 and an upward rent year-over-year trend indicate robust rental demand, while elevated interest rates (current 30-year fixed ~6.5%) support investor interest in rental income rather than rapid owner-occupier turnover.
