Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.

Property Taxes

Liquidity & Velocity

Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.

Market Trends & Context

Key Findings

1. The primary indicator of recent transactions, the median sold price, is 424,500, which sits well below the median listing price of 550,000, signaling a meaningful pricing gap between seller expectations and actual sale outcomes.
2. The market shows reduced liquidity with a long median days on market of 263, which suggests slower sales velocity and implies sellers may need more time or price concessions to transact.
3. Valuation on a unit basis is anchored at a median price per square foot of 243, while price momentum is down, indicating that per-square-foot support is present but broader price direction remains soft.
4. Market conditions are generally cold with rent trends also down and interest rate pressure listed as elevated; the median market rent of 2,000 provides a rental reference point but does not offset the cooler sales environment.
