Key Findings
- The neighborhood’s primary market signal is the median sold price of 2,182,000, which establishes recent transaction value and suggests continued strength in closed deals; hot market conditions support premium realized pricing relative to local asking behavior.
- The median listing price is 1,748,888, creating a notable spread versus the representative recent sale level that may indicate pricing friction or seller repositioning; this listing-to-sale relationship appears to reflect selective seller expectations rather than broad market weakness.
- Market velocity shows a median days on market of 21, which indicates fairly brisk turnover for comparable SFR and condominium inventory and suggests moderate-to-strong liquidity despite elevated interest rate pressure; this level of time-to-contract may support prompt negotiation windows for active participants.
- Macro and cost pressures are mixed: the overall price trend is flat (flat), rent activity is up with a median market rent of 3,400, and interest rate conditions are described as elevated (elevated), which may sustain selective buyer urgency among well-hedged owners while tempering broad buyer pool participation.
