Key Findings

1. The primary market indicator is the median sold price of $438,652, which represents the most reliable signal of recent transaction value and suggests current market value is tracking below asking benchmarks.

2. There is a meaningful gap between the median listing price of $359,900 and the median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction or seller expectations that differ from completed transactions; given the long median days on market of 235, this appears consistent with slower sales velocity.

3. Market trend signals show prices year-over-year are down and rent year-over-year is down, while the market temperature is neutral, implying a balanced but softening market where buyers and sellers may need to negotiate; treat these as cautionary indicators rather than decisive momentum shifts.

4. Interest rate context is a headwind: interest rate pressure is elevated, and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Aurora are 6.69% versus a 5.87% average earlier in 2026, which may reduce buyer purchasing power and support longer listing times and downward price pressure.
