Key Findings
- The primary market value indicator is the $354,500 median sold price, which suggests recent transaction levels are concentrated well below the $517,450 median listing price and may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and closed deals.
- The market shows slower sales velocity with a median days on market of 425, which may indicate longer listing periods and more time for negotiation before transactions complete.
- Price momentum is down year-over-year while market temperature is neutral, suggesting a broadly balanced market that nevertheless faces downward pricing pressure and elevated interest rate pressure (local 30‑year rates around 6.6%).
- Relative value signals: the $267 median price per square foot and $1,295 median market rent point to modest rental income levels versus sales prices, which may temper investor demand while owner-occupier activity appears to drive closed transactions.
