Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
-
The primary indicator of market value is the median sold price $1,399,000, which reflects recent transaction activity and aligns with an overall up price year-over-year trend.
-
The difference between the median listing price $1,424,500 and the median sold price $1,399,000 suggests some seller pricing optimism and potential pricing friction between asking and realized values.
-
Liquidity appears muted: the median days on market 281 points to slower sales velocity even as the sample indicates a relatively constrained active supply that may support prices.
-
Market fundamentals show support but headwinds exist — median market rent 3,506 and median price per square foot 665 accompany a rent year-over-year trend that is up, while elevated interest rate pressure is a material constraint (elevated interest rate pressure).

Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Key Findings
-
The neighborhood's representative recent sale is the median sold price 840,000, which should be treated as the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity (primary indicator).
-
Pricing snapshot: the median listing price 847,000 sits slightly above the median sold price 840,000, suggesting modest seller markups that may indicate limited pricing friction between asking and transaction levels.
-
Market velocity and liquidity: the median days on market 280 points to slower sales velocity, and with a neutral market temperature (neutral), this suggests transactions are taking longer even as overall conditions remain balanced.
-
Fundamentals and near-term pressure: the price year-over-year trend is up and the rent year-over-year trend is up (supporting demand), but interest rate pressure is elevated (elevated), which could cap near-term appreciation; use the median price per square foot 583 to benchmark unit-level pricing.
