Key Findings

1. The primary indicator of recent market value is the $1,899,000 median sold price, which aligns with the reported price year-over-year trend being up, suggesting modest appreciation in realized transaction prices.

2. There is a wide gap between the $2,599,000 median listing price and the $1,899,000 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction and elevated seller expectations relative to recent closed transactions; sellers should be prepared to adjust pricing to meet market-clearing levels.

3. The 304 median days on market points to slower sales velocity and, combined with the dataset characterization of the sample, suggests a relatively constrained active supply and balanced buyer-seller dynamics rather than rapid turnover; this implies liquidity is moderate and transactions may require longer marketing windows (neutral market temperature).

4. Rental demand appears supportive with a $5,000 median market rent and a rent year-over-year trend that is up; meanwhile, borrowing conditions show 6.3% current 30-year fixed mortgage rates (about 0.4% higher than early‑2026 norms) and interest rate pressure assessed as moderate, which may temper purchase affordability even as rents rise.
