Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator, median sold price, is 2,522,500, which anchors recent transaction-level market value and should be the focus for pricing decisions (representative recent sale).
  2. Current pricing context shows a gap between median listing price (2,589,500) and median sold price (2,522,500), which may indicate pricing friction that can create limited negotiation windows for buyers when paired with slower transaction velocity.
  3. Market liquidity appears muted: median days on market is 267, consistent with a slower sales velocity that suggests sellers may need to be more flexible on terms or pricing to accelerate closings.
  4. Rental and financing context is mixed—median market rent is 4,175 with rent year-over-year trend up, while interest rate pressure is described as elevated and current market loan rates are approximately 6.54%, which together support continued rental demand and may constrain some purchase affordability.
