Key Findings

  1. Median sold price: $631,000 is the most reliable indicator of recent transaction value in Forestville and suggests current market value is below asking levels given the median listing price: $659,000; pricing gap may indicate sellers are adjusting expectations.
  2. Median days on market: 359 points to notably slower transaction velocity and suggests reduced liquidity and prolonged marketing periods for typical SFR and condominium listings.
  3. Median price per square foot: $536 establishes a high unit value baseline for comparables; combined with slower sales velocity, this may create pricing friction between buyer offers and seller expectations.
  4. Market temperature: cold with a price year-over-year trend: down and interest rate pressure: elevated (current ~6.53% 30-year fixed) suggests financing headwinds and a cautious buyer pool, while median market rent: $2,300 and rent year-over-year trend: down indicate rental demand is not currently offsetting sales market softness; softening market conditions may persist until rates or demand improve.
