Property Taxes
Liquidity & Velocity
Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.
Market Trends & Context
Understanding Market Temperature
A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.
Current Mortgage Rate Context
Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:
Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in the 95816 area are 6.49%, which is 0.39% lower than the 6.88% average observed in January 2026.
Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.
Key Findings
-
The neighborhood's primary market indicator, median sold price 709,000, anchors current market value and recent transaction activity; with a neutral market temperature (balanced), this points to modest, stable pricing rather than rapid appreciation or decline.
-
Extended median days on market 322 indicates slower sales velocity, which—when paired with the analyzed sample's relatively constrained active supply—may indicate pricing friction and longer decision cycles for buyers and sellers.
-
Price strength on a unit basis is reflected by median price per square foot 509, while median market rent 1,695 is flat year‑over‑year (flat), suggesting steady rental demand without material upward pressure on rents.
-
Interest rate context shows local 30‑year fixed rates at 6.49%, 0.39% lower than the 6.88% average observed in January 2026; with interest rate pressure described as moderate, modest easing in affordability may support incremental transaction activity if the rate trend continues.

Key Findings
-
The primary market indicator, the median sold price of 520,849, signals modest appreciation and represents the most reliable snapshot of realized value for SFR and condo transactions in 95816; sellers should price near recent comparable solds to avoid pricing friction, and buyers should focus on deals that align with this representative recent sale. neutral
-
The area’s median price per square foot is 520, which supports a stable per-unit valuation framework across the sample and suggests appraisers and investors should use price-per-square-foot comps when underwriting; consider prioritizing accuracy in square-foot measurements to reduce valuation variance. flat
-
Rental fundamentals show a median market rent of 1,750 with rent year-over-year trend reported as flat, indicating steady rental demand; investors evaluating buy-to-rent opportunities should model conservative income growth assumptions and factor in current rent stability. neutral
-
Financing conditions are supportive: current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are 6.49%, which is 0.39% lower than the January 2026 average of 6.88%; combined with reported moderate interest rate pressure, this may modestly improve buyer affordability and transaction prospects, so timely rate locks and lender coordination are actionable priorities. moderate
