Key Findings
- median sold price $1,962,000 is the primary indicator of market value — recent transactions cluster around this level and should be used as the baseline for pricing and valuation decisions, with listing expectations evaluated against these realized sale prices.
- median listing price $2,850,000 sits above the median sold price, which may indicate a pricing gap where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels; this dynamic suggests pricing friction that agents should address through comparables and staged concessions.
- median days on market 237 signals materially slower sales velocity than typical fast-turn markets and may indicate that buyers can take a more measured approach to negotiations; slower velocity appears to coexist with the broader neutral market temperature.
- median market rent $4,500 and a rent year-over-year trend up support strong rental demand as an alternative market for owners; however, moderate interest rate pressure (current 30-year fixed mortgage rates at 6.6%) may temper purchase activity and should be factored into rent-versus-own scenarios.
