Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary market indicator is the $1,135,500 median sold price, which represents recent transaction values in 91103 and aligns with a hot market temperature.
  2. The $1,138,800 median listing price is very near the median sold price, which may indicate limited pricing gap and persistent seller strength even as interest rates exert pressure (elevated interest rate pressure).
  3. The 352 median days on market signals slower sales velocity and notable pricing friction; extended time-to-contract may create selective negotiation opportunities for buyers and requires sellers to justify pricing or condition (slower sales velocity).
  4. Market dynamics show year-over-year price trend up while rent trend is down, and with interest rate pressure elevated, expect continued price resilience but tighter affordability for buyers, suggesting cautious underwriting and targeted buyer outreach strategies (caution on affordability).
