Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's median sold price is $1,519,000, which should be treated as the primary indicator of realized market value and recent transaction activity; this level, when compared to asking expectations, appears to require sellers to be responsive to closing offers to avoid longer listing durations.
  2. There is a meaningful listing-to-sale gap with the median listing price at $1,625,000, suggesting seller expectations are higher than recent transaction levels and may create pricing friction that slows deal execution.
  3. Market velocity is slow: the median days on market is 109, which points to slower sales velocity and gives buyers increased negotiating leverage while sellers may need to adjust terms or pricing to accelerate transactions.
  4. Price momentum and financing headwinds are negative: the price year-over-year trend is down (down), the market temperature is cold, rent growth is muted with the rent year-over-year trend flat, and interest rate pressure is elevated with typical local 30-year rates averaging 6.88%—a combination that supports conservative pricing and may prolong marketing times.
