Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of recent transaction activity is the median sold price, which stands at 563,500, signaling the neighborhood's representative recent sale level and aligning with a flat year-over-year price trend.

  2. The median listing price is 540,000 versus the median sold price of 563,500, which may indicate pricing friction or that negotiated sale outcomes are running above some asking prices; sellers should calibrate expectations and buyers should probe comps before bidding.

  3. Liquidity appears slow: the median days on market is 533, suggesting extended marketing times and slower sales velocity that, combined with relatively constrained active supply, may require more aggressive marketing or price adjustments to accelerate transactions. elevated interest rate pressure is a headwind that may prolong time-to-contract.

  4. Market fundamentals show a median price per square foot of 246 and median market rent of 1,370, while rent trends are down and the overall market temperature is neutral; investors should be cautious on near-term cashflow assumptions and prioritize deals with clear upside or strong financing terms.
