Key Findings

1. median sold price: 439,206 — The median sold price is the primary indicator of recent market value and suggests transaction levels are holding near current asking levels (median listing price: 428,495); price year-over-year trend is flat, which aligns with a stabilization of values rather than directional appreciation or decline.

2. median days on market: 198 — Extended median days on market point to slower sales velocity and increased time-to-contract; when combined with a sample characterization of relatively constrained active supply, this suggests pricing friction and that sellers may need to align expectations to close deals in a more deliberate market.

3. median price per square foot: 224 — Price density remains concentrated at this level while rental dynamics show a down rent year-over-year trend (median market rent: 1,825), indicating softer rental demand even as sales price-per-square-foot holds firm; investors should account for softer near-term rental income when underwriting acquisitions.

4. market temperature: neutral — The market reads as balanced rather than strongly favoring buyers or sellers amid elevated interest rate pressure; current financing context notes roughly 30-year fixed mortgage rates near 6.2% (declined from ~6.8% a year ago), which may ease some affordability stress but keeps buyer caution elevated.
