Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics.

Liquidity & Velocity

Market Trends & Context

Key Findings

1. The primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity is the median sold price at $1,389,000, and with the price year-over-year trend reported as up and the market temperature described as hot, this suggests continued appreciation pressure in recent closed sales.
2. There is a notable gap between the median listing price at $2,318,000 and the median sold price at $1,389,000, which may indicate pricing friction and elevated seller expectations relative to recent transaction prices; sellers should expect negotiation and buyers may find opportunities where pricing aligns with recent sales.
3. Liquidity appears slower given a median days on market of 318, which signals reduced velocity and more time to transact; this longer marketing period may be contributing to increased price adjustments and gives buyers more negotiation leverage in some cases moderate.
4. Market fundamentals show a high median price per square foot of $782 alongside a median market rent of $3,495, with rent year-over-year trend up and interest rate pressure described as moderate; investors should weigh strong rental demand against elevated per-square-foot valuations when assessing yield and hold strategies.
