Key Findings
- The primary indicator of recent transaction value is the median sold price: $714,000, which shows realized market value and sits below the median listing price: $775,000, suggesting a persistent gap between seller expectations and completed sales; down price trend signals modest softening in transaction prices.
- The market exhibits slower sales velocity as indicated by a median days on market: 305, which may indicate pricing friction or cautious buyer behavior rather than immediate liquidity; marketTemperature is neutral, so conditions appear balanced rather than strongly favoring buyers or sellers.
- Valuation on a size basis is anchored by a median price per square foot: $658, which provides a consistent reference for comparing listings and recent sales; given the relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample, this per‑square‑foot benchmark may be useful for sellers setting realistic asking prices and for buyers assessing comparables.
- Rental dynamics and financing environment present mixed signals: median market rent: $2,295 is trending up, while the interest rate environment is elevated at 6.6% (current 30‑year fixed), which may increase carry costs for buyers and lends caution to investor underwriting; the elevated interestRatePressure suggests financing sensitivity even as rentYoYTrend is up.
