Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, the median sold price, is $1,531,000, which represents the most reliable signal of recent transaction value and positions the area in the higher-value segment of the market (representative recent sale).
  2. Seller asking expectations at $1,750,000 sit above the realized median sold price of $1,531,000, which may indicate pricing friction between list expectations and completed transactions (softening seller pricing).
  3. Market velocity is slow: the median days on market is 325, suggesting prolonged marketing periods and slower sales velocity, consistent with elevated inventory relative to sales activity in the analyzed sample.
  4. Broader trend signals show prices and rents are both up, while the market temperature remains neutral and interest rate pressure is elevated, which may constrain near-term buyer responsiveness despite positive price and rent momentum.
