Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of recent market value is the median sold price: 1,106,000, which represents the neighborhood's most reliable transaction signal and suggests current pricing sits below the median listing price of 1,200,000; this gap may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and closed transactions rather than immediate downward pressure.
  2. Sales velocity is slow relative to historical norms: the median days on market is 120, which points to slower transaction volume and more time to negotiate and may require sellers to be more flexible on terms or pricing to achieve timely closings.
  3. Market direction is softening on price but stable overall: price year-over-year trend is down while market temperature is neutral, indicating a transitionary, more balanced phase where sellers and buyers are reconciling expectations rather than an outright market shift.
  4. Macro and rental context is mixed: interest rate pressure is elevated (with current 30-year fixed mortgage rates at 6.77%) and rent year-over-year trend is up with median market rent at 3,150, suggesting sustained rental demand that could support investor interest despite financing headwinds.
