Rental Market

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics.

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 neighborhood's primary transaction indicator — the median sold price — is 394,500, which reflects realized market value and should be the focal point for comps and pricing decisions; with the price year-over-year trend showing down, recent transaction values appear to be under slight downward pressure.
2. There is a notable spread between the median listing price of 549,900 and the median sold price of 394,500, which may indicate pricing friction and increased seller expectations versus closed market outcomes; combined with a median days on market of 146, this suggests slower sales velocity and enhanced negotiation room for buyers.
3. Valuation intensity remains elevated on a per-area basis with a median price per square foot of 371, while rent dynamics show resilience — median market rent is 1,695 and rent year-over-year trend is up — signaling improving income-side demand even as sale prices soften.
4. Overall market context is neutral for temperature with interest rate pressure rated as moderate, which suggests a balanced environment where sellers may need realistic pricing and buyers can find choice; expect continued cautious listing strategies and moderate transaction activity.
