Key Findings

  1. median sold price — 2,496,000 is the primary indicator of current market value and recent transaction activity; relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample appears to support price stability despite extended selling timelines, representative recent sale.
  2. median listing price — 3,339,000 sits materially above the median sold price, which suggests a meaningful gap between seller expectations and actual transaction prices and may indicate pricing friction in negotiations.
  3. median days on market — 282 points to slower sales velocity and extended listing durations, which may indicate that liquidity is muted even as the market temperature is reported as neutral; this dynamic suggests sellers may need to price to transaction realities, exercise caution.
  4. median market rent — 3,180 and a reported rent year-over-year trend of up reinforce strong rental demand in the area, which supports investment interest and secondary market stability while interest rate pressure remains moderate, rising rents.
