Key Findings

  1. 4,067,000 median sold price anchors recent market value and reflects completed transactions in July 2026; given the hot market temperature, this suggests realized prices remain strong despite mixed trend signals.
  2. 4,339,467 median listing price sits above the median sold price and may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed recent transaction levels; sellers should consider that listing asks are not automatically converting to higher sold prices.
  3. 149 median days on market points to slower sales velocity relative to rapid-turn markets and may indicate longer decision cycles for buyers even as the market favors sellers; this suggests agents should emphasize targeted marketing and staged negotiation strategies.
  4. 7,195 median market rent combined with a rent year-over-year trend of up supports robust rental demand, offering potential confidence for investor buyers and owners assessing hold vs. sell decisions, while elevated interest rate pressure (elevated) may temper purchase affordability for some buyer segments.
