Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator remains the median sold price of $1,239,000, which reflects realized transaction values and suggests strong price levels for recent closings in 94105; despite high asking levels, the market appears to clear nearer to this sold-price benchmark. hot market temperature supports continued seller pricing power.

  2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price of $1,342,500 and the median sold price of $1,239,000, which may indicate persistent seller optimism or listing-price friction where sellers set premiums above what transactions are currently achieving.

  3. Liquidity appears mixed: the median days on market of 354 signals slower sales velocity for properties that transact and may reflect extended marketing periods or selective buyer activity; this should be interpreted as slower turnover rather than broad market weakness. slower sales velocity

  4. Market drivers are supportive: year-over-year trends show price up and rent up, and the market is classified as hot, while interest rate pressure is moderate—together these factors suggest continued upward pricing pressure and strengthening rental demand, though moderate interest rate pressure warrants caution for margin-sensitive buyers. up

Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of recent market value is the median sold price of 1,224,100, which reflects completed transactions and supports the characterization of a hot market in this ZIP code.

  2. The median listing price of 1,295,000 sits above the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction between asking and transaction levels and suggests seller expectations exceed recent sale outcomes.

  3. The median days on market of 354 is unusually long and, despite the hot market designation, appears to signal slower transaction velocity for properties that do not meet initial price or condition expectations.

  4. The median price per square foot of 1,105 alongside a median market rent of 6,100 and an upward rent year-over-year trend indicates strong rental demand; combined with moderate interest rate pressure, this supports continued investor and landlord interest while cautioning on financing sensitivity.
