Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's representative recent sale is 1,818,000 (median sold price), which should be treated as the primary indicator of realized market value and recent transaction activity in 92109.
  2. There is a notable gap between the 1,818,000 median sold price and the 2,785,000 median listing price, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels; this suggests flat price momentum rather than upward pressure.
  3. Liquidity appears muted with a 319 median days on market, implying slower sales velocity and that properties may require longer marketing time to reach the 1,818,000 median sold price.
  4. Market-wide indicators are mixed: the market temperature is neutral and price year-over-year trend is flat, while interest rate pressure is elevated; rents are also showing a flat year-over-year trend, which may limit upside from rental-driven demand.
