Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator, the median sold price, is 619,500, which represents the most reliable snapshot of recent transaction activity and suggests market value near that level; use sold comps around this figure for valuation.
  2. There is a visible spread between the median listing price of 650,000 and the median sold price of 619,500, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels; monitor new listings for adjustment toward realized prices.
  3. The median days on market is 127, signaling slower sales velocity that appears to give buyers more time to negotiate and may lengthen underwriting timelines; slower sales velocity.
  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging 6.63%, and rent trends are also down while median market rent sits at 1,963; elevated interest rate pressure suggests affordability headwinds—price discipline and financing concessions may be required to close deals.
